Just recently I signed up for this fascinating... thing on the web. Didn't thought much about it, until I read this article by a Sri Lankan writer.
A BIZARRE NEW new habit called Twittering has taken the world's idle rich by storm.
You use your phone or computer to send out a constant stream of short news alerts (called "tweets"), so people know exactly what you are doing at all times of the day or night.
The word "Twitter" is derived from "twit", meaning "moron", and describes the users targeted by the service. (The original name was Pathetic Egomaniacs Anonymous.)
Taken from Nury Vittachi's web column.
