Frankly I find twitter to be entirely narcissistic, more so than MySpace even.
You need to reach someone, send an e-mail, use AIM, or heaven forbid actually pick up Alexander's invention and input seven or ten digits. Cell phones are just portable versions of the telephone.
Twitter is less useful than the pager of the late 80s and early 90s. Unlike the days of yore, we have a myriad of communication options as you touched upon in your rant, twitter is just a duplication of existing options, probably dumbed down for the general public.
