Twitter; Why?

Twitter Twitter is:

A global community of friends and strangers answering one simple question: What are you doing?

But the question is why?

I get stuck (and a migraine) when I try understanding how exactly Twitter can be useful. It seems so flippant toward the idea of publishing anything real and useful. At best, it’s a clever Away Status Message for your IM client, only one that the world can see rather than just your chat buddies. Maybe I’m just being close-minded, but I fail to see the point, and really can’t help but feel like it’s a goofy fad that’s soon to fade away.

I’ve thought about joining Twitter, but like Nick, I fail to see the real point behind it. Do people really care that you are eating mashed potatoes? Or that you’re sweating from lifting boxes?
