It's there to waste time. Or optionally so people can reveal
parts of they private life, then regret they didn't keep it private.
I use Twitter as sort of a "hep IRC." But it helps to have your own client
(TTYtter), which is text-based, and the presence of a (somewhat) stable 3rd
party API is Twitter's ace in the hole. So it cuts down on a lot of crap
to have it whistling merrily away in a terminal window and I can glance at it
when I notice a lot of activity.
I don't trust Facebook.

I do have a phone flaterate, it is much less hassle to call the person on
the phone...
