testing 1-2-3… hello? is this thing on?
I have a like/dislike relationship with Twitter. Mostly dislike. :-)
I like because it’s stupidly easy to use. I dislike because it’s yet another frickin’ thing I have to login to and post just to use it. Bleah.
TwitterFeed is something I just found out about that will poll my blog’s RSS feed and make lil’ “tweets” along with a TinyURL in tow, so good deal there.
I honestly don’t know how long this will last because evidently Twitter is cracking down on spam. Technically speaking, using a service like TwitterFeed to auto-poll your blog once per hour then send a “tweet” if there’s anything new could be considered spam. And I hate spam. A lot. Who doesn’t?
I use TwitterFeed for one reason and one reason only.
I’m fucking lazy. :-)
I see it this way: People use RSS readers to read their favorite blogs. Using TwitterFeed to post the exact same thing on your Twitter profile is no different; it’s just yet another way to get to the information.

I think the value of Twitter is in who you follow, then secondly who follows you. It can be a good source of information, actually.
On your first point, yes it is a good social tool. On your second point, I don’t consider it a good source of information mainly due to the “what did you do for lunch” type of posting on that site. That’s useless info (and makes up for the vast majority of content that flows thru there.)
