I totally agree with the Dad comment here. Both my Mother and Father are hugely into Facebook, but don&#x27;t understand twitter. They have both signed up for accounts, but haven&#x27;t really used them, because they don&#x27;t get it.<p>To be honest, I also didn&#x27;t really understand twitter until I had to sign up for it to promote a talk I was giving at a conference. Then after playing around with it a bit, I found some interesting people I ended up following. Before that though I didn&#x27;t really see the appeal. And this is coming from a tech and news junkie.
