I was following the twitter (what.. stream?) of one of the people whose blogs I follow while he was twittering from the floor of the recent AIPAC convention. It was nice getting real time information while he was actually at the convention, but I found the twitterings far less useful, informational, and thought provoking than his regular blog posts. After he left the convention, I went back to just reading his blog. I suspect that he probably stopped twittering after he left the convention also. I see it as a good way to keep people up to speed with things that are going on in real time if they're really important. But I don't see any use for it the rest of the time, and definitely not for my own use to tell everyone how many peppers I picked today, or how I feel about the pain in my back. I'm that way with the wall in my facebook page. While other people I know like to report in a twittery kind of way about little things in their daily life on their facebook walls, I don't see much point myself. Different strokes for different folks.
