I spend almost all day on a computer because of work and it really does let me keep in touch with people. It would be that or using the phone/email all day and if you have a job that actually uses email, you know that you don't want more email

Oh and not everybody posts things like "I'm up" a large bulk are links to news or updates about breaking news, things like that. Again, if you've never used it or seen it used it is kind of hard to say "pointless".
