I disagree. I already question how we functioned without it. If you follow the right people, it's a steady stream of up to the minute news in the areas of your choice. During the free agent signing period, it was the quickest and easiest way to find out what was happening up to the minute. When any news of any kind breaks, you find out right away and you get people's opinions on it easily. Finally, career wise, it helps. When I put on my cabaret show next year, I only have to mention it on Twitter and instantly, 27,000 people know about it. I can update them on my career and life very easily and my tweets get picked up in articles sometimes so it's easy and free publicity.
My favorite tweet from last year: THE_REAL_SHAQ "Just got a fresh cut for da game, dam I'm sugly, dats sexy and ugly mixed in one"
Dude, I don't give a SHIT about where players are eating and what they're ordering for lunch. Who gives a fuck about what they're doing every hour of the day? It's ridiculous in my opinion. It promotes narcissism.
