I think that is the advantage. Facebook status updates are just people bragging about their social life or whining about their problems. Because of the mindset of *certain* people on twitter, it transforms into a much more powerful tool! I'm still new to using twitter the 'correct' way. Hopefully some more advanced users (like Blake) can enlighten us with other tips on how to do it right. I totally agree. I think that is the advantage.

Twitter is my RSS reader now" Twitter has become the sole source of discovering information on the web for many smart tech people. Most people think twitter is just facebook status updates. Yes, the technology is basically the same. But how people use it is drastically different. One of the smartest people I know commented to me a while ago:
