Twitter?

Henry convinced me to start twittering since he uses twitter at work. I'm unsure why it's important and don't know how to use it but I thought I'd give it a shot. Anyone who wants to follow me, my name is carimari11; a user name I've used since the good old days of junior high where I was addicted to AOL instant messenger. I understand why "important" people would use it, I mean I'm sure TONS of people do care about what Ashton Kutcher is doing right now. But, for the general populous, who really cares about what we are doing every second of the day?
