Twittervision – People I don't know telling me things I don't care about

One of the latest rages on the web is twitter. Twitter lets people answer the question of what they are doing right now. I can see my daughter and her friends using this and there is certainly a buzz around this in tech circles that is probably similar to how crack hit the streets. Now there is a new site called Twittervision which is a google maps mashup of twitter that shows you who is twittering right now.

The problem that I have is that I don’t know these people. I don’t even know of these people. I don’t know that I care that a guy in Tennessee is texting at 80 mph or that someone in California has kidney stones. It reminds me of going to Karaoke night. Just because someone hands you a microphone does not mean you know how to sing.
