    Definitely a waste of time. I work in high tech and no one i know over the age of 30 uses (or even really understands) twitter - except the blogosphere who, in all fairness, needs to keep up with this constant news feed as it's part of their job. This is not saying there isn't a place for it. But older people (meaning: older than 30!) are generally too busy solving problems at work, home lives with families, etc. I have a cell phone, email on my cell, skype, and IM. People can reach me if they need but they certainly do not need to be kept updated of my every useless thought.
