Fast info, sometimes our pages don't change much during the day, but twitter is always updating.
The ability to block people who are idiots quickly is nice. My non political friends don't have to see my posts like on FB. Lots of misinfo, but easily checked. All in all I'm enjoying reading, I don't post, or tweet.
