My reading is that /user is for data associated with twitter users/accounts, not meant to store things that go in /usr. /usr says system related stuff. /user is meant to be distinct from /logs and /tmp, not indicate a global, common utility/data directory. /user holds twitter user data /logs holds time stamped aggregated data /tmp is for ephemeral data, it has a truncated name because that's what people are used for this purpose I wouldn't name it /usr if it held information about users either.
