Twitter - What's in it for you?

Twitter is another useful tool to stay connected and up to date with family, friends and business associates.  Are you new to Twitter like I am?  Go to Twitter  to learn more and sign up. 

According to reports, Twitter has moved up to be the third highest social networking site in January 2009.  Previous to that it was twenty-second.

I know I am no expert at Twittering but what I see so far is a large number of people can be reached in a short period of time.  It also seems to be beneficial for those that do not have a lot of time on their hands to get updated with the world around them.  This is accomplished by the limiting of the characters that can be written.  Unlike blogging that allows people to babble on forever (which I am doing), Tweeting is simple and sweet.  If the Tweeter would like to provide more info, a link is usually attached.  But for the most part, the reader can capture the essence of the post by just a few simple words.

I do enjoy the Twitter sites that I am following.  It has enabled me to catch up on updates that I normally wouldn’t have time to search for.  My husband and I are into making new food recipes all the time so two particular sites of interest are Rachael Ray and Emeril.

I found Twitter to be very similar to Facebook, but much harder to use.  Again part of this is my lack of knowledge in both areas.  Does anyone have any valuable information that would persuade me to use Twitter vs. Facebook except for the fact that more people can be reached?  Currently the only benefit I see is that you can have lists (in other words groups) with specific topics.  Let me know your thoughts.
