Twitter yourself Mad, or Watch Picasso on YouTube or MySpace

Twitter is a great idea for those of us who feel the need to try every new communication idea. The basic principle seems to be that there is space in the continuum of--phone call, Email, Skype, AIM, and blog post--for a simple way to just hang a sign on the digital door to say, "Back in 5" or "Gone fishing" or even "Got an itch I need to scratch".

Yet I remain unconvinced. Most people I know are too busy to even stay current on Email. No way will friends ping Twitter to see if I'm at my desk. It reminds me of this film of Picasso drawing. Yes, it's interesting...once. But I'm more interested in what he does than in how he does it. Is this too "destination is more important than the journey" for you?
