I've actually grown a bit fond of twitter over the last months. For some communities, it's very much the place where the news happens, and you can watch it unfold life. That being said, I wish they'd do more with the potential they have. For example, I have tried at various times to find out what's happening when I heard the distant noises of a large demonstration (I'm in Berlin, Germany and it's a weekly occurrence, at least in the summer). Not once did I succeed with twitter's search, not even in cases where I later found out that there were many tweets about the event.
