Nextel dominated the Southwest Michigan wireless scene when I lived in Kalmazoo. All of my friends were late to start texting because we all used the push-to-talk feature. Nextel also didn't have very good phones for texting. You could receive texts but they were hard to access. You also had to pay more in order to send texts. Because none of my friends were texting, I didn't start either, and didn't miss it.
Same thing happened when all of my friends go on MySpace. No one was using facebook for much. So I didn't use facebook. Twitter is the "new" service that a lot of people use that I don't find useful... yet. None of my friends regularly use twitter. My contacts at work don't use it either. I have an account but rarely check. Rarely do the few people that I follow share anything useful or worth while (though Shaquille O'Neil does provide good tweets every now and then).
The Google Practicum finally gives me a good reason to use twitter. I'm looking forward to finding interesting people to follow. It seems like a very useful tool that I have yet to frequently use. Now I have a group of people around me using it, so I will yet again follow (my twitter page).
