I’ve never used Twitter so I can’t say whether it’s useful to me or not.

I usually use twitter just to read headlines. I think there are better social networks to interact with other people, like Facebook.

Twitter is a very useful social media. To get the max out of it, you need to know what you are doing there, how to setup your lists, select your sources and friends.
It has a different nature than FB. People can get addicted to Twitter because of its fast pace and the controlled length of your contribution (140characters) which gives better sharing technique in most of the cases. I like Twitter even as a source for business and technology news. Have some great friends who stay connected and tuned with each other.
