I find twitter search useful. For example, when I was shopping for a newly released netbook, I searched the keyword on twitter for a few days, to see what people say about it and what new reviews are being released. After a few days, I was able to detect the "mood", in other words, how people feel about the product. That is very hard to achieve with just reading a professional review. More generally, if I want to know what now is happening about something, twitter can usually deliver that.

"I searched the keyword on twitter for a few days" There, you have used Twitter in the fashion of the "traditional" web, you just went to a RTW source thats all. My point is i generally don't have any use for what "now" is happening, anything that is of importance generally has a longer time span and relevance to me and i don't "need" to know it straight away.
