Honest question. I do, but I see little benefit from it other than to keep up with certain people. For example, I keep up with certain people who have the opposite political beliefs. You know, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer; that type of thing.

But other than that, I don't see a huge benefit in using Twitter. Like I said at the beginning of this post, it's an honest question.

Edit: I guess I wasn't fully awake. The main point of this thread (if anyone answers) is to ask that If you do use Twitter, what do you find it most useful for?

I use it to gauge public opinion. Short little soundbites that aren't much longer than a headline.

I'm sure if I had a business or a website it could be beneficial to help direct people to that.

I've never tweeted, but I have a Twitter account that I use to follow certain sports journalists. It's a decent way to gather news quickly.

I don't think it's useful for gauging public opinion. It's a giant echo chamber of extremes.

Yup. And I occasionally retweet funny things.

Thanks folks. Pretty much what I use it for (public opinion, follow certain people, etc). I was just wondering if I was left out on some big secret.

I use it to learn about breaking news - big events get posted about on Twitter at least an hour before they break on news sources.

i tweet. About all sorts of nonsense. And I also live tweet television shows. Because apparently it is entertaining.
