@cruci-fiction: Michael Arrington just read this and screamed out loud "I DO NOT READ VALLEYWAG!"

at the risk of sounding like i take the exaggerations of snarky a**holes literally, i second lustylady's comments. twitter != valley(wag)-only.

quite a few ATLiens also use twitter [twitter.com]

you may also be interested in twittervision and twittearth

The only people who use Twitter are also the only people who read Valleywag. Ask anyone who you know whom does not read VW if they have ever heard of Twitter and you will be greeted with a blank stare and change of subject.

I'm a New Yorker and I use Twitter, uh, kindof incessantly, as do many other New Yorkers I know. I think it could easily get out of hand if you are trying to follow too many people, but lately I hardly have time for more than 140 characters, so it's perfect.

For the midwest perspective, I don't know a single person who uses Twitter

There's nothing to get. People send me text messages, and I check my email. I don't feel the need to stop eating a delicious slice of red velvet cake for 20 seconds to type "eating slice of red velvet cake :P lol" on twitter. It has absolutely no relevance to me or anyone I know, nor do any aggregate services.

I agree, I've had to block Scoble, and really, all of the Twitter crap is San Francisco based. You'd think it would take off like wild fire in the much connected, in the know Washington, D.C. crowd, but I still think they just don't get it. Oh well.
