I'm pretty impressed about how useful Twitter is for me, especially for the development of Redis but not only. I used to think Twitter was useless because I missed the point. Twitter is a simple messaging system, but the real value is in the communication culture that Twitter users created providing a "network of humans" that was not possible to build in an efficient way before twitter. The development of this new communication model was somewhat spontaneous I think but because there were two very important features in the system: non-reciprocal following and short messages.
