 It's there to waste time. Or optionally so people can reveal
 parts of they private life, then regret they didn't keep it private. 
 
 I use Twitter as sort of a "hep IRC." But it helps to have your own client
 (TTYtter), which is text-based, and the presence of a (somewhat) stable 3rd
 party API is Twitter's ace in the hole. So it cuts down on a lot of crap
 to have it whistling merrily away in a terminal window and I can glance at it
 when I notice a lot of activity.
 I don't trust Facebook.

Hmm, it seems, that I don't even need something like IRC..
I do have a phone flaterate, it is much less hassle to call the person on
the phone...
