A wonderful website with many functions:
1) Pretending
you know who half the people on your
friends list are when they message you, desperately hoping they give you a hint;
2) Providing a means of not having to actually having to properly talk to lots of people you
don't give two shits about but it would cause drama not talking to, because it looks like you're in contact when you're actually not;
3) Providing a means for people who you've basically forgotten exist and you'd be quite happy never talking to again to find you and message you;
4) Informing the world about your tiny daily annoyances, diet, and drinking/socialising and/or bowel habits;
5) Posting little else but links to things and stupid witticisms.
6) Playing Scrabble.
Twitter is basically the same, except doesn't include 1-3 or 6.
