I don't get Twitter

There - I said it.

(BTW - this is becoming a nice little mini-series... started with my long and thoughtful confession about Second Life).

I'm going to make the following predictions:

1. Within a year, people will vaguely remember what that whole Twitter craze was about (and those that do will be terribly embarrassed they ever wasted time twitting bugging each other). It'll sit comfortably in the dustbin with the Tamagotchis and The Macarena.
2. Or - I am going to look very very stupid in March '08.

Anyhow - feel free to twitter me at: http://twitter.com/galai

i would not bet on 1 :)
Actually i believe this communication will develop, but certainly not alone and unstable as it is right now.

My bet is that the big ones will buy it before it dies

Just today, I was telling someone about the irony of a comment I read back in 1999:

"Boy AllAdvantage seems to have come out of nowhere, just like Ricky Martin. And look at them now!"

Indeed.
