But now I use it much the same way that I use my Facebook status messages: to reach out to other people... whether it be with my random thoughts, grievances, or by sharing (hopefully) useful information, insha'Allah. It's just another way to connect. I would have stuck with FB, but not everyone is on it. I.e., if you want to talk to people, you have to go where the people are! Plus Twitter is so open and transparent (few people bother with direct messaging) that I find it more comfortable to interact with the opposite gender on this platform - way more than on Facebook. Which is why I severely restricted access to my FB profile, but have not bothered to make my tweets private. Others might think me strange, but it works for me. :) I never really saw the point of Twitter before either.

There is now shoutreel.com which is a micro-forum site. I like it better than twitter. Maybe because it feels more like the old comfortable home. Twitter is not my thing either.
