I like your analysis of how the site's design shapes its content. I also think your comparison of tweeting to off-line behavior (passing on the street and briefly connecting) is dead-on. Reese's and your enthusiasm may prompt me to become more active on the site.... I think this is a great summary of why you find Twittr both fun and valuable.

Reese’s and your enthusiasm may prompt me to become more active on the site….

After I while I realized that it would be more interesting to include details about what was happening than just being at work. You've hit the nail on the head about the unique things that people are doing. It's like any story, you listen to it because it's interesting, not just because it's a story.

I love the people who update judiciously (and not too often) and seem to actually have something useful to say. I don't really care so much about people's normal routines, but like to hear more about the unique things they might be doing (photoshoots, meeting with friends for lunch, etc). It's really interesting... I initially thought that Twitter would be annoying, and sure enough a lot of my contacts did update with silly mundane things like, "Eating breakfast" or the ever boring, "Working right now," but I've found that as Twitter has gotten older, the people who use it are becoming more adept at posting interesting messages. Then again, perhaps I've weeded out the "boring" tweets... Haha... I like to think that my contacts are just getting better at tweeting. Twitter is so great!
