>>Please, anyone who does like Twitter, tell me one thing that Twitter is either the best or easiest way to do any particular task

Twitter is a community in which you choose with whom you want to interact. I wouldn't look at Twitter as a solution to a problem so much as a way of interacting with others. This may be fun, or it may be productive.

On a recent trip to Dallas to give a speech, my suitcase was lost by the airline. I posted a lament (not expecting a solution, just wanting to rant) and a local follower offered to take me shopping or otherwise help out. I forged ahead in my rumpled blazer, but it was a nice feeling knowing that if I had been in a bind help was at hand.
