The point: The distribution of information in packets of no more than 140 characters.

What that information is depends on the users

I always got the impression it was like Facebook on Speed.

Indeed, it can be likened to facebook reduced down to just status updates. But you don't have to ask permission to be friends!

I suspect you won't be able to, as I fear there IS no point to it.

Thank you!

Another way for the masses to regurgitate pointless musings that no one is interested in. Just as bad as facebook.

I find loads of useful links through Twitter - here's one from earlier today. If you follow interesting people, you'll get interesting stuff. If you choose instead to follow a bunch of vapid imbeciles chuntering on about their lunch, then obviously you won't derive much benefit from it.
