Twitter for Baby Boomers

I am hitting a generational wall. I can think of absolutely no reason why Twitter would be useful or even appealing to me. Is there anyone out there who can convince me otherwise?

I know some 20-somethings that love Twitter, but neither of my college-age sons have any interest at all, nor my teenage daughter . . . .

So am I just missing the boat or is this just the CB Radio fad of the 21st Century?

  1. This is one of the reasons that we decided Twitter is an optional exercise. It's getting a lot of media hype, but I personally think it's gone way too commercial - and ever since the celebrities discovered it? Oy vey...

    But, there are good reasons to use it. I'll accept it being used for public service announcements, events -- tell me what fun stuff is happening, and I'll check it out!

    I like how we can integrate Twitter with your blog or even Facebook, and make one entry that replicates in 2+ websites -- all in one click.

    And I totally love your analogy on the CB Radio Fad. It's truly on the spot.
