I use Twitter daily, multiple times daily. What do I use it for? I keep in touch with the wide world with world news from the BBC; I get hurricane alert news; Cricket scores, and local weather. I also keep track of some of the local bloggers and them of me, as we tweet snippets during the day. I also use it to keep in touch with my wife when we in different places, as it's easy to use via SMS on a cellphone. It's the brevity that's good too. Not a huge amount of options - just 140 characters of text (which can be a URL) and away you go.
