The Sternberg Effect: Reasons to use Twitter
The bigger question you should be asking yourself is, "Why do I care what a random blogger (and not even a good one at that) thinks about Twitter (or anything else. But that's a whole other issue)?" The answer is simplistically simple: the nature of social media is to learn from others.

Ten Twitter Mythconceptions | Technologizer
Poor Twitter! It may be the hottest service on the Web, but it’s also profoundly misunderstood. Lots of people cheerfully admit they don’t get it. Others emphatically believe things about it that aren’t true. I encounter confusion over Twitter every day, especially in the real world as I chat with folks who have either never used it, or have tried it and then walked away. It also pops up on Twitter itself (where, incidentally, I’m @harrymccracken and a feed of all Technologizer stories is available at @technologizer).
