Twitter has come a long way since its inception in 2006. Back at the beginning, it was just a bunch of people telling the whole world what they were doing right at that very minute. So you were subjected to banal messages such as “just had breakfast!” and “going out to work soon!”It was messages like these that really turned me off to Twitter when I first discovered it. The service was initially dismissed by some critics as “a platform for mediocrity” and at first I tended to agree with them.
