    If you are looking for "breaking news" or information of that nature, twitter is purely awesome. It is instant information at its extreme, and highly addictive. It took me a long time to figure out, and it is hard to explain because there is no "one thing" to get.

    I signed up yesterday but am still a little perplexed about it, I haven't really given it my full attention due to GTA IV. I'll give it a proper try this weekend and see how I go.
