It used to be great for gaming news updates. Back when the feed would just be who the user chose to follow. Sure, the big stuff would make it to Facebook eventually but I felt it was a better product for breaking news.

I never used Twitter in the first place because I had no idea what it was for.
Still don’t.
Every single one of these things seemed to be “It’s Facebook, but you can only do [gimmick]”

Better real time engagement. Think of it like your own personal news ticker or curated radio station with updates. I used it to get updates from sporting events when I didn’t necessarily have access to a radio/tv and couldn’t watch/ listen to a game, etc. because I was indisposed, at a function, movie, etc.I had a whole host of journalists, personalities, and people that would basically/ practically give me play by play and keep me informed of what was going on. It was actually truly great. Twitter isn’t even close to what it once was.
