    Twitter I joined a month or so ago and have really really tried to get it, but to me it seems like facebook status updates without all the rest....

    Facebook recently changed its status updates to make them more like Twitter.

    They're both very different services.

    Is there an approved list of activities somewhere?

    I want to be sure I'm not wasting any pixels.

    Twitter is basically a way to annoy everyone on the Internet with the boring minutia of your daily life in easy to read SMS style chunks. (With pictures...)

    twittering, as far as I can tell, is a way of telling everyone precisely how much of a self-obsessed boring twit you really are.

    It's like your announcing on a megaphone to your neighbors that you're making a cup of tea

    Yes, it's exactly like that, if your neighbours signed up of their own free will to be notified by megaphone whenever you did something. :rolleyes:
