Twitter baffles me too, it primarily appears to me as a marketing channel. I prefer FB (personal) and LNKD (professional) over TWTR and G+. Majority of tweeters I follow seem to share links only. I figure 140 character limit is not conducive to having meaningful conversations. Twitter app and site is not suitable for reviewing links. Recently, I discovered shared links in Safari browser that seem to work better in tweet reading as it shows the pages linked in tweets too. I just quickly browse through the tweets in Safari shared links sidebar and read the linked articles that seem interesting.
