It's entirely understandable to not understand why people use twitter, but how to use twitter is incredibly simple, beyond probably any other social network.
I disagree. After a couple meager attempts I never figured out how to naturally follow conversations, and quickly parsing abbreviation-filled snippets of text is a skill I think needs to be learned.

I think the complexity is part of the appeal. There's some sense of accomplishment or exclusivity from "figuring it out" and being "Twitter-savvy".
The appeal is that there's nothing to "get".
