It's great for customer service, for getting recommendations, and for getting help in a (non-911, non-AAA) emergency. Many non-profits have also used Twitter very successfully for fundraising drives. Yes, you have to manage how you interact with it so you don't waste time - TweetDeck helps - but it takes 2 seconds to unfollow anyone whose posts are irrelevant and/or uninteresting. There is significant value in Twitter if you take the time to understand how to use it to your personal advantage.

Been using it since 2007, i love it. It's a great way to keep in touch with friends throughout the day. There are many applications for blackberry - so i choose when to read tweets and when to respond. it's a fun quick way to keep in touch or share the days events.

I use it to receive news headlines, concert tour updates, sport scores, weather, things like that. It's annoying when people use it to update what they're doing of no importance to me (just used the bathroom, eating cornflakes, etc.). It's also a quick way to let all of my contacts know if there is something happening that they may need to know about (Stuck in traffic, will be ten minutes late, can't make it to the movies tonight, etc.).

Personally, I think Twitter could be fun if it featured more than what it already does. I feel like a stalker though when you "follow" people around. The same goes for myself, having people "follow" me makes me feel very uncomfortable. The bottom line is: Twitter seems to be overrated and it becomes boring real fast. I know, because I've tried it and just like social networking Web sites, they become a wearing experience after awhile.

People who use Twitter to communicate are not actually communicating. Face to face contact is the only true way to connect with people. Twittering is not about connecting, it is about memorizing what other people have said.

Twitter is just an over rated way for people with bad grammar and awful spelling habits to waste time with expensive portable electronic devices, instead of getting of their rears to exercise. This along with video game inspired life (driving, social etiquette, sex ed, etc.)is the reason that we as a nation are in deep trouble.

It's just like any other social networking site. The more you put into the more you'll get out. To have people "follow" you you have to talk about stupid stuff that idiots think are important. People will look for words and then "follow" you until they realize you aren't going to discuss their key words. It's basically a blog. It could be useful for families who are far away and live in different time zones.

Love it, keeps messages short & sweet. Been using it to keep in touch w/friends, family & business associates since its inception. For the most part all of us using it keep our accounts protected, since it has become a HUGE social network, lots of MLM's on it recently and some spamming of porn as well. That has been a pain and some of us have been thinking about not using it. But it does keep those who love to over text down to small messages! Some folks have been using it as a tool for marketing new businesses and themselves;in that aspect it is a good tool in today's economy. So,for those skeptics if you are out of work or if have lost business any tools you can use to legitimately market yourself or your business; I say go for it!
