twitter is ok for getting quick little info-bites re; news/politics etc
it's mostly full of banal pointless twats though.
so is facebook. so is the whole internet. do you avoid it? the key thing about twitter is this concept called 'following'. you follow people. who you want. who you are therefore interested in, or would like to hear updates from. you are never exposed to "banal pointless twats", unless for some reason you are a banal and pointless enough twat to follow them. in which case, you click 'unfollow', and twitter's bounteous good fortune is bestowed upon you once more.
why does a grown man need to ask if a website is worth using? just sign up and see for yourself. it's not crack.
