Why Twitter?
I've seen a few of my friends on here ask, "Why should I use Twitter?"
Personally, I use Twitter because it's brief, easy, accessible from my cell phone, and often results in hilarious conversations.
For Example: A common behavior one Twitter is to RT (Re-Tweet) other people's tweets to you own Twitter. This is the common way of spreading news articles or ideas. Because anyone who follows you can reply to you with an @your-user-name, every tweet has the potential to turn into a thread of responses.
Yesterday, I ReTweeted a Discovery article with the added comment that it looked sparkly. A fast-paced bout of hilarity ensued.

lycorne: *SPAAA~AARKKKLLLEE* RT @Discovery_News: Lightning vs. Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano! See the incredible photos here: http://ow.ly/1ANg1
pyro_ike: @ElfGrove Haha, that's a good way to put it. The close-ups are even cooler!
pyro_ike: @ElfGrove Also, ironically enough I changed my wallpaper to a different volcano-lightning picture a day or two before the eruption. :P
eveshka: @ElfGrove Vampires not included.
pyro_ike: @eveshka What if the volcano IS a vampire? :O
lycorne: @pyroIke Oh noes! What if it is?!
eveshka: @pyroIke Then we are all Doomed. Doomed, I say. ('Cause there isn't enough blood in the world to fill the core of the Earth.)
lycorne: @eveshka We'll just have to resort to Human Sacrifice.
pyro_ike: @eveshka @ElfGrove We'll have to pull down the moon to slake its thirst for... moon-blood. Or whatever vampire-planets (planetpires?) drink.
lycorne: @eveshka @pyroIke Maybe it drinks solar radiation. The holes in the Ozone awakened it. (This is getting funnier by the minute.)
pyro_ike: @ElfGrove Of course! Not only does it not die from sunlight, it feeds on it! It's the mightiest mountain of sparklepire-ism!
pyro_ike: @ElfGrove Or maybe it's a regular vampire, and the sunlight is making it explode repeatedly... Hmm.
eveshka: @pyroIke @ElfGrove Exploding Vamp Volcanoes. Sounds like a Hard Metal Band name to me.
lycorne: @eveshka Or y'know.The next teen romance sensation. ;)
eveshka: @ElfGrove Yegods. Save us.
pyro_ike: @ElfGrove [spoiler] In the end, Bella throws herself into the white-hot embrace of Ed-cano's liquid magma, despite his warnings [/spoiler]
pyro_ike: @ElfGrove [spoiler]She then sprouts up next to him as another volcano, forming a mountain faster & prettier than any other new volcano ever!
eveshka: @pyroIke Oh my God.
eveshka: @pyroIke @ElfGrove I can't breathe, I know it is all my fault, but I did need the laugh.
pyro_ike: @eveshka @ElfGrove Angry geologists call the book total garbage, because the author clearly didn't put any research into her volcano mythos.
pyro_ike: @eveshka Also Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl are jealous and/or mad about copyright infringement.
eveshka: @ElfGrove @pyroIke Pele is Displeased.
lycorne: @pyroIke @eveshka I'm snickering at my desk. My coworkers likely think I've lost it. Good job.
pyro_ike: @ElfGrove XD I'll be here all week! And, y'know, thereafter. :P
