> - I use Twitter a LOT to communicate with people I'd otherwise have no access to, because I don't have their email or they are too busy answering me through the company mailbox. Twitter makes everyone (except for celebs) reachable. If I need some guy at Google who write library X, I just send him a tweet.
That one is a killer-feature right there I've managed to discover lately.
Twitter completely sucks, because if you are just a normal person doing normal things noone will ever care about you.
BUT, in case you're interested in some very specific topic and the contributing people then you should give twitter a try...
Actually this is one of the things that makes twitter so useful. With email the person can pretend that they didn't get your email ("it must have ended up in my junk mail folder"), while with twitter it is all public.
