But wouldn't some other site be more effective for that, such as Facebook?
Well, Facebook is more of a hassle to load and connect on a phone, Twitter is much faster, and my FB feed gets clogged with other stuff like photo uploads at first.

I guess Twitter is good for people who already have lurkers, creepers, stalkers and fans. It works in a system that is vastly different from others. Interaction with and the size of your following are more important on Twitter. The main focus is on those 140 words. Ah, the beauty of microblogging.
Aside from catering to people worth some sort of following, Twitter can be good for more serious pursuits: business, advertising, news etc. Things tend to disseminate quickly on that site. Just remember how the Arab Spring exploited social media.

Twitter is stupid. The only point in having one is if you are a celebrity and so everyone who "Follows you" can see what you posted and laugh, cry etc. about it. Other than that it is dumb because you don't do anything really. Same with Facebook too. All I do on that is play PawnStars the Game.
