Twittering

Just a question really, why twitter?

I use Face book and quite like that. I can play scrabble , check out groups, events and what people are up to. I can have a chat and a gossip. There are links to posts, news and you tubes. I blog and pop over to others. So why Twitter?

I joined twitter, but it all seems a bit of duplication with the Face book updates and so have not really twittered. I keep getting requests for people to follow me , such as from the Green Party. Hm. I don't want to be followed, it makes me want to slap them !! Leave me alone. But that's the point of Twitter, not to be left alone.

Thoughts anyone ?
