Ambient Intimacy?

(I'm not a paid subscriber so I can't do a formal poll. Answer or not as you please.)

How many of you use Twitter?

Impressions?

Do you also use other always-on communications techs (IM, IRC, etc)?

Compare or contrast?

I don't even know what Twitter is, but I totally read your title as "Ambien Intimacy" and was a bit confused. :)

Apparently I am not so bright tonight. And no, I have not taken my Ambien yet. :)

I use IRC only — don't like IM clients, and prefer the social atmosphere of IRC.

I have one friend who feeds Twitter updates into her blog (which I read via LJ), and they drive me insane. Who the hell wants to know that stuff? It's bad enough when people post insanely trivial things to LJ (here's what I had for breakfast, here are the thirteen people I talked to at work...) but Twitter is a dozen times worse.
