This is something new “…kind of twitterer” This twitter thing is really making huge noise with “onliners” and not to mention creating new and fun words (found at the top right side of twitter)
But going back to what kind of twitter I am, I say: “The what-do-I-get-from-here.” As a new twitter user, I am looking for some good reasons, maybe some good-of-a-deal benefits (aside from getting “following” and getting “followed”) why I should patronize it. It eats a lot of time, that’s one, and I think my facebook and friendster accounts are enough to serve the purpose of getting in touch with my friends, here and abroad.

I think you’re missing a type. When I couldn’t quite fit myself into one of the types (except maybe {budding} Networker), I took a good look at my Twitter behaviour. I think I’d call myself a Cherry-picker. I follow a select few people from a variety of fields that interest me, mainly to pick up on new ideas, tips on subjects I’m interested in and pretty any much anything that satisfies my thirst for continuing to grow my knowledge and understanding of my core industry (software development) and related fields. I don’t see it as a socialising tool, not even quite a networking tool, but more an information aggregator using human brain power, instead of relying on web spiders.
