they are talking to "no one and everyone". If i used twitter i would not worry about who my audience is because most of the people who follow you have no connection with you in real life. I feel more distant with my audience in online writing spaces because of this. I don't know them and saying something online is a lot less meaningful than to your face or even over the phone. Stalkers or other random people with no life are the people who are reading your tweets and some people like this because in some ways they are getting the attention they so desperately crave. I believe twitter could be a great space for organizations or important causes because it is a great way to get information across at any given point but they way it is used by most people is not valuable writing. the purpose is to feel like people actually care about the ordinary things you do though out the day.
