Well, Courtney Love has left Twitter after coming to the realization that Twitter seems to be a kind of addicting platform for self revelation, and a place to easily embarrass one's self, if not incidentally, than out of boredom when attempting to express one's self in less than a certain number of characters.
The problem of Twitter is that its really a way to 'text' an endless number of strangers with what "you are doing" at anytime of the day or night, and this feeds our current obsession with 'reality television' and the happenings of other's lives, a sort of voyeuristic trespassing into the lives of others...with permission.
This is bound to lead to moments of personal embarrasment. It's the very nature of Twitter to be personal and to elicit the artifacts of embarrasment possible when one is bored in the middle of the night, or stressed, or being robbed blind by attorneys...
So, to CL - good for you...to each his own: nothing is eternal, except change.
