Indeed. I think it's a great way to get out quick blasts to people, like if your shop is having a last-minute event, or to send out a quick event reminder, without having to force people to actively load up or check your website daily for such announcements. However, I don't understand regular people using it to announce whatever mundane activity they're doing to the public... talk about egomania.

I was in a meeting and a guy who should know better looked at his phone and announced that his friend had gone to starbucks for a coffee, but they were out of whole milk.

If I want to read about the inane minutiae of someone's day, I have styleforum.
