So, Twitter is a pretty amazing invention. If you have an iPhone, and you tweet, I would recommend the twitterfon app. At any given time you can click on the search icon where you can select the Get Trends icon.
Notice, I just clicked get trends and as of right this second, these are the things people are tweeting about in large amounts:

All of these are hot news topics. When you select one of them, you can read all puclic people's tweets on that subject. Or you can search. This is really useful if you are wanting to know more about something that just happened, say Lebron James signed with the T-Wolves, or maybe you want to know more about the event taking place downtown tonight. Just search with a word or two, like I did Vikings, and immediately you see recent news for that:

I won't be going to the Alma high school game tonight, but I bet there will be fans there tweeting about it. So I will just use twitterfon for my instant game news source!

Is it weird that I don't tweet? I just can't bring myself to do it even with an iPhone.....
I can understand that. I could see myself not tweeting anymore but I really can't see myself not usig Twitter anymore for the only purpose of it's search feature. You have access to thousands upon thousands of live real-time data feeds. That's the value in it right there.
Put yourself into the shoes of a business owner or web marketer. You can see what people are wanting, needing, searchig for, etc etc...
