I use Twitter feverishly (probably too much) - I probably annoy a lot of my followers with non-sequitur commentary and the random news article.
But what I REALLY derive value in, is it's my always streaming news source. Follow a dozen or so news sites (both local, world, and niche-focused, such as tech and marketing) and I'm always up to date on what's going on.
A well curated Twitter account is going to beat out almost any individual news source.
While I do know Twitter botting is a huge issue, I also (anecdotally) know a lot of people who only use Twitter for consumption who have never tweeted anything themselves.
I have been wondering what the value is of being continually up to date. One of my gripes with being on twitter is that you get to be up to date on things you don't particularly want to be up to date on. I wish there were an easy way to filter things out.
