RE: Twitter: is there any point?

I'd disagree. If you use a decent client like TweetDeck to monitor not only your own followees but also to mount searches on the entire Twitterstream, you can end up learning quite a lot. Team this up with Snackr, which gives you a ticker of RSS feeds across the bottom of your screen and you have a great vehicle for learning things directly and peripherally related to your interests.

There's a big "if". This only applies if you only follow people on Twitter who post useful links or ideas. As has been pointed out, there's little point in knowing about people's personal habits; I Tweet to publicise things that interest me, which I have found interesting, or which are directly related to my job.
