I don't get why so many organizations do this. Wouldn't you just want some kind of news feed on your website? The whole social aspect of Twitter doesn't matter

I don't get why so many organizations do this. Wouldn't you just want some kind of news feed on your website? The whole social aspect of Twitter doesn't matter for this, they just want to push out timestamped messages in a queue. Is it so hard to host something that does this?

If you told someone at that organization (besides a programmer/developer) exactly that, they wouldn't even understand the words "feed", "push out", "timestamped", "queue" and "host", so no wonder people opt for the simplest possible solution, especially when they might have a underpaid and overworked IT department that barely have programmers in it, if any.
