How much longer must we tolerate mass culture?

If you blame someone else, you don't learn nothing, cause hey, it's not your fault, it's his fault, over there. -Joe Strummer The latest geegaws and whoosits tag:vox.com,2008-02-27:asset-6a00d41426798b3c7f00e398e0a6f00004 2008-02-27T04:59:24Z 2008-02-28T04:24:35Z Maxvan http://maxvan.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

I always like to be informed, and there's something neat about new gadgets, and whatnot,but I must admit i don't understad some of the latest and greatest on the web, these days. Like Twitter...Does anybody do Twitter so that they could explain to me how it's any better than chat? it just seems like some AIM channel, with permanent recording of whatever drivel you drooled out. Or Facebook, which seems like Myspace with more invasive programming. I don't get it.....

I understand RSS feeds, podcasts, and blogs. I understand Flickr and  Vlogs on youtube. All this makes a kind of sense to me. Bt some of the latest and greatest, I just don't understand. Can somebody explain it to me? What's the allure? What's the function? What's the deal?
