Twittering by the Second

I'm not quite sure how useful Twitter would be for libraries. My understanding is that Twitter is akin to excessive blogging or blogging on steroids. Perhaps this type of cutting-edge news would be appropriate for very time-sensitive information such as news updates in the event of a major crisis (e.g., earthquake) or election results. In other words, Twitter could be used to help people monitor extremely fluid information and especially those who spend a considerable amount of time on the Internet daily.
