I used to think that of Twitter, too. I used to prefer Jaiku, too (it still has better features), however, it's not the personal tweets that make Twitter useful, it's the real-time information. Look up what it did during the Iranian election, or keep an eye on the trending topics for news that breaks faster than any media (old or new) can publish. The masturbatory personal messages are not what define it as a useful tool (even though 85% of my tweets are of that sort). Head on over to TechCrunch.com and see how many articles are written about it to get an idea of its importance on the 'net right now.
