I have heard this so many times from my non-tech friends: "Your friend just took a crap & tweeted about it? Power to you" "The popularity of twitter is testament to the stupidity of the human race" I personally never tweet. I only follow popular people to hear what they say, news sites, local businesses, etc. I don't really know why anyone follows me.
