Case in point: I dont know how big this has been outside of california, but out here everyone has been following the murder of model Jasmine Fiore (presumably by her husband Ryan Jenkins). Twitter has been blowing up with news about Ryan Jenkins being charged with murder for the past 30 mins, however there is no mention of it on any major news site as of yet. TMZ just posted the story about 15 mins ago. Is this going to change my life? No, but it didnt cost anything and it is most certainly an effective means of spreading information.

Look, thats great.. If you dont like twitter, you dont have to use it. Like I said before, nobody gives a shit about your life. Nobody here (or anywhere else) is telling you that you need to sign up and begin using it as your personal diary as some people do. The idea behind twitter is not to post every minute detail of your everyday life. It is to facilitate the rapid spread of relevant information.
