I don't have a twitter account and have never had one. I don't like the service, don't like the polices, don't like its nearly unusable glitchy interface, I don't like what it seems to do to people that I know and (sometimes formerly) respect(ed). I think the "twit" in the name is pretty descriptive on many levels. But that's fine, not everyone has to like everything.
Unfortunately not using it doesn't prevent people from trying to impersonate me there, cursing people out under my name, posting scams etc. On the dozenth or so times I reported one of these imposters to twitter they asked me to make an account to report via their web interface. As requested, I made a throwaway account. About an hour after the account was created I received a notice that my account was suspended for violating their rules. I've literally never used it, no one at my home was using twitter (or in trouble with it).
They're just pathetically broken from top to bottom. Broken service, broken culture, broken process.
If you get something out of it, good for you. But I remain mystified why anyone finds it to be of value.
