I am using it less and less, not because of a particular technical fault, but because of how it makes me think and act. First off, instantly seeing see others' half-formed thoughts makes me strongly want to find fault with their views, and the ability to instantly respond with my own half-baked opinions compounds the problem. Secondly, the character limit means that, when I do have a more considered response to make, I can either: - split it up into many tweets (and risk the recipient not reading all the parts, or simply risk annoying people) - spend time creating a blog post, which requires more thinking and a lot more time writing, or - try in vain to fit it in 140 chars, give up, and keep my views to myself, while stewing in my own annoyance. To me, this is toxic. It makes me get worked-up over pointless things, wastes time (mine and others'), and generally adds another stressor in my life that I can do without. It's a shame, as I've found Twitter to be great for actual 'social networking', and made extremely valuable contacts through it.
