Is Twitter just the new CB radio?

I have often sat here looking at the twitter screen and pondered it’s place in society.

I grew up with the fad that was Citizens Band (CB) Radio and now twitter is doing pretty much the same. Twitter has connected many strangers, and some friends, around the globe that would otherwise never had contact before. It is great if you are in a remote location, providing you have an internet connection, or are lonely stay at home person to connect with others. The folk on Twitter regularly warn each other of traffic events, shows, police speed cameras, good restaurants etc, just as they did back in the 1970’s and 80’s.

Twitter is nothing new just a different skin!
