For the stay/work-at-home crowd, is there really such a thing as mundane tweeting?  For me, it's my water cooler, chit-chat during my break banter.  Before twitter, working from home (I've been doing it for 10 years now) would occasionally get a little lonely...then along came IM.  But, that got to be a little intrusive and twitter provides a happy medium.  

Besides the chit-chat factor, I'm finding that twitter can be a valuable networking spot.  And maybe I'm a little late to that aspect of twitter.  For example, I'm trying to find eco-friendly printers and doing a search on google spits back tons of options.  Doing the same search on twitter also gives me a lot of options...but there's a bonus in that the choices are backed by people who have actually used these printers or are these printers.  There's a certain "live" aspect to the twitter search vs. the google search.

Am I making sense?  In the end, yes I do care what you're having for lunch or that your car's broken down and now you have to hoof it to do your errands or that S and Q are doing hilarious middle school things.  I only hope that my relationship with coffee, my political observations/rants and my mommy moments are just as interesting to you.
