I'm relatively new to Twitter, and I'm amazed at how 'current' I've become by tapping into the Twitter stream. It's like surrounding yourself with a group of like-minded individuals who are constantly feeding you info and links that appeal to your specific interests. In that way, it has a leg up on RSS feeds.
