This highlights my biggest complaint about twitter. I use it largely as your quote describes, to get publish events from people/organizations I'm interested in.

This highlights my biggest complaint about twitter. I use it largely as your quote describes, to get publish events from people/organizations I'm interested in. In short, I use it like a modern RSS feed. The problem is that a whole bunch of people see twitter as something different, including twitter if their plan to increase the tweet limit to 10,000 happens. Some use it as a commenting system. Some use it as a medium (think tweet storms), etc. And this leaves me with the question, what is twitter trying to be? I honestly can't figure it out, and that's my issue with twitter.
