Dr. Oliver James, author of Affluenza, said, “Twittering stems from a lack of identity. It’s a constant update of who you are, what you are, where you are. No one would Twitter if they had a strong sense of identity.”
Any thoughts?

I disagree with Dr. James’s conclusion about Twitterers having a “lack of identity”. People do not twitter to find their identity, they Twitter to share their identity with other. Some of the reasoning behind my personal involvement in Twitter are: Social Networking (find others with similar interests), Professional Networking (finding others with similar business objectives, prospects for my company MeHype.com, potential partners,etc.) and creating visibility for my company MeHype (www.mehype.com). These are not things that I need for my own validation as a person and a professional, these are things that are required for success in today’s consumer-driven communication model.
