Twitter, Blogger, etc
For whatever it has become to different people, I think the magic and essence of Twitter are in its 140-character limit and thoughtfulness in unburdening the user of that automatic connection with people whose thoughts and whereabouts they don't necessarily care for.
Meanwhile, celebrities—and the rest of the deeply status-conscious—value it as a free tool for measuring influence.

My not-first #FirstTweet:
