My only interaction with twitter is through the weekly "Popular in your network" emails I get every few days. I actually do find them useful; I don't follow anyone extraneous and so the items are almost always directly related to content I am interested in. I am not a producer of content, so for me, Twitter will always be a one-way street. What that means is that it competes with any other news/content source such as Google News, HN, Reddit, etc. If it weren't for those periodic, curated, but extremely relevant emails, twitter wouldn't be on my list of news sources. I imagine they will start injecting sponsored messages on those emails and then I might have to reconsider.
