Did you know that Twitter turned 5 years old last week?
Happy Birthday, Twitter!
Do you use Twitter?
I do.
Do you not understand why anyone would want to use Twitter?
This video is very illuminating for those who don't "get it."

Especially since, according the Twitter Blog, the world now tweets 1 billion tweets per week!
