The novelty of seeing what celebrities are doing wears off, especially seeing as half of them only update it once a week with fairly boring updates. And I'm not that interested in seeing what friends are doing - and I got facebook updates for that.
What I like most about Twitter is the instant pickup on big events, e.g. the plane crash in Amsterdam yestersday. The very nature of the thing means that it usually gets the story up before any traditional media, like the world's biggest newswire. In fact at least one UK broadsheet has Twitterfall on their big screen in the office. Check it out - it has very nicely harnessed the potential of Twitter.
It's not all about stalking celebs and chatting with your mates. In fact if it was, I wouldn't be anywhere near it, same reason I'm not on Facebook.

Chris was even saying that Matt was asking him to be a follower.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought the one I was following was very lifelike for a fake. This also confirms that the whining and self-aggrandising also came from the real Matt Fincham. I sometimes get the feeling he thinks he's doing the show a favour by being there, but I may be way off the mark.
