Lots of Web folk say they don't 'get' Twitter. To be fair, it's not immediately obvious if you aren't/haven't been a regular user of the web. The whole idea of course, is to build a network of 'followers' (read: 'friends') and to communicate with each other on a regular basis as to where you are and what you're doing through a series of 'tweets' (short messages of maximum 140 characters, so slightly less than a text). Twitter also has mobile phone capabilities as well allowing Twitter 'on the go'. Some would argue (Dell PC's) that Twitter certainly has commercial marketing power and capabilities as well, though some businesses have previously created a major 'fail' by mis-mananaging the Twitter dragon (Habitat UK).
