Why is Twitter so damn addicting?

Because it is short it makes it easy to read and you can read a lot more without feeling like you actually have.

I don't find it addicting at all though. I kind of feel like everyone just flocked to it then for some reason got stuck. It doesn't seem all that revolutionary at all to me :(

No one nowadays has an attention span greater than a few minutes. Maybe that is why.

If their attention span lasted only a few minutes they would not spend hours at a time on those websites.

I view each twitter as a discrete event, not as a continuum of tripe.

Regardless, if things were as you said, those you pointed out would still be away from it in merely a few moments.

Tripe is delicious.

You are delicious.

Simply another of the "social networking" websites that are so popular at the moment.
