It seems that people totally forget twitter was first invented to sync IM apps' status bar. In the past people put their mood & music they are listening to on GTalk/MSN. It was fun meeting strangers this way.
But then there's mobile Internet, chat apps don't have a status box anymore.

- est 4y agoMobile apps have this "always online" design, so online/offline/busy status is irrelevant. Also apparently typing text is less fun than uploading videos, so users don't bother.
