content: Twitter is massively useful for fast (near realtime) circulation of news. Whenever there is a situation developing Twitter is the best place to keep the pulse. For example the Fattening and the fist wave of migration to Voat was mostly followed on Twitter because Voat was down most of the time.  Other than that it is useless as a social platform. Which is good in a sense, because the useful social platforms are much worse.Like Facebook being a very good carcinogen.
