TWHATTER?

I'm lost. What is up with Twitter? I mean really, who has time to tell the world what they are doing every second or to check up on their friends? And since when do I want to constantly answer the question, "What are you doing right now?" all the time for my friends via the web? I thought it was weird enough that you're supposed to update a status on facebook answering this question, but do we really need another social networking site dedicated to just this one function? I think twitter is either a voyeuristic niche market or maybe for the technologically bored.... but what is the draw here? Am I missing something?

I can't see myself ever updating my status hourly so people know what I'm up to. This seems crazy to me.
