I never understood why people were so into Twitter, from my perspective it's like a new media version of press releases - big name people harp about whatever they harp about and I read about it elsewhere if it's relevant to me.
I guess it's depending on your upbringing, and if you learned that people can intrinsically have a higher value than others, or if they are defined by their actions. In the former case, twitter makes sense, because you can follow "high value" people, while in the later one, you'd be more interested in platforms like digg/reddit/Lemmy, where you follow topics, and people active on specific topics and who continuously publish relevant content end up rising regularly.
