Just about every website I look at has twiter. I have noticed that these same websites don't update news,events regularly. They tend to use twiter for updates,etc.
I always thought twiter was for people like Lara Bingle who have lunch at Hugos Manly and post "Just having lunch at Hugo's Manly" like wgaf.
Does anybody rate twitter ?
Not when I see stuff in the newspaper like I did a year or so ago.
A massive earthquake destroyed half a city and many died. The press immediately search Twitter and come up with some young actress who said "OMG the whole place, like, just shook"
FFS 
I thought Facebook was bad enough, but when we are so interested in the minute by minute updates of some other person's banal existence, or media values the Tweeting of some borderline retarded 18 y/o blonde over the stories of the truly affected, society has gone to sh!t.
Twat's Twitter
what freaks me is how Faceberk now is to be sharelisted - so personal info is the property of investors anywhere , fark that rubbish[}:)]
No do not use Twitter
In the bog now OMG you should see the size of that and the smell!!!!

Oups wrong button sorry delete!
Make this the SB Twitter thread?
"I am home having lunch for 30mins."
(as if anyone in the world except for me gives a sh!t)
Anyone else want to post what they are doing that nobody else gives a sh!t about?
Update:

you guys are funny. you all bag social networks which are just public forums and you guys post on here like there's no tomorrow. this place is a public forum in fact this is worse as most on here are anonymous.
Tweeting (think that's what they call it).
Sitting in waiting room awaiting consultation on penile reduction operation.
Serious back pain.
Seabreeze is for awesome people....
Twitter is for idiots....
Its all about the demographic....
There is supposedly 1m accounts of twitter in Australia.
Kevin Rudd has over 1m twitter followers...
A large majority of his follower are from overseas...
You do the math
I think participation in a forum that caters to one's hobby - no it is more than that, lifestyle - is easily understandable.
Thinking that anyone cares about Tweets like "just got to work and traffic was bad" is fkn sad.
Media making front page news out of a bimbo with an I.Q smaller than her bust size saying "OMG whole place just, like, shook" is more sad.
Assuming people know you had a baby, got engaged or somebody died, because you put it on Facebook, is a really sad indictment upon the changes social media has imparted. What happened to real interpersonal relationships?
Ever noticed the Facebook pics of pretty girls in the paper, if they have been involved in a fatal car crash or murdered etc? Social networking enables media to make things more "ooohhh" and "ahhhh" so they love it, and it is leading to even less balanced reporting than we had previously (never thought it possible...). They get the story, then look for social media stuff to boost it up and print it. If an ugly person dies it isn't news anymore?

^^^ I appreciate your sentiment, but don't think I am being negative - just realistic.
Social media was developed to assist in academics sharing ideas and much like the internet in general it has become rapidly taken up by all and sundry, leading to social problems nobody could foresee.
With FB and Twitter we don't see the major dramas quite yet but they are contributing to some social ills or the loss of interpersonal connections - much like the ability to SMS has.
