I admit to opening my twitter account once in a blue moon and realizing most of the time - I don't get it or that it was only relevant in the moment. I despise IM'ing - just an annoyance at work.
HOWEVER - for certain purposes it is really handy. I just haven't sat down to see if I can set up filters in such a way to make it efficient. In media- everyone twitter links to wikis or shared dats/stories as we work. Its liek texting - but with a lik on your pc to what you really need.
And amongst political junkies/blogers - mostly its links.
On a personal side - I don't have a lot of friends on twitter that post what they had for lunch. My friends MIGHT twitter - "Finished exams" when they get through their bar exams or something milestone-y. Or "passed exams! woot! I'm official now." Usually its genuinely something I care about them sharing.
For planning purposes - it can be really convenient for everyone to twitter completed event planning stages. But, in reality - a work-site wiki or texting/emailing accomplishes the same.
Again - in reality - its one more thing. And I don't really get it.
