Twitter - Knowledge Management and the Experience

So i have been using Twitter for a while now and i would like to discuss two aspects.  The first is my experience using Twitter and the second is the use of Twitter in Knowledge Management and in Organizations.
My experience with Twitter - I did not really "get" the idea behind Twitter before starting it and i am not sure that i get it now.  I see a lot of potenial for Twitter on a comercial and organizational level but not for noraml people.  I dont have anything to say that i feel will intreset other people.  On the other hand i like that i can get quick updates from important people or orginizations about what is going on with them. So i can see the point in following Israel or A major news paper but i can not see the point in following a friend or class mate.  During the exercise i found myself writing things that i know will not intreset anyone else and could not think of anything that would intreset them.  Also i did not feel the need to follow any of my classmates in order to know what they are doing.  It is true that it is like reading the status of a friend on Faceboook, but somehow for me it is different.  Maybe it is because i am already on Facebook and used to it by now or maybe it has to do with the frequency of the updates.  Twitter makes you feel like you have to update every few hours but on Facebook it is ok to updated every few days.  Even on Facebook i have friends that update everyfew hours and it is very anyoing.  To sum up this part, i do not think that after this course i will continue to use Twitter.
Twitter in an organization and as a tool for knowledge management - I think that Twitter can play a very important role in any organization as far as knowledge management is consigned.  It is useful in order to know what other people in the company are doing.  For example project managers can notify people about which customer they are working and then other workers can share information with them.  Also programs can tweet that they are having problems solving a certain computer problem and then other workers can try and help them out.  Twitter can also be use to keep the informal communication lines open between the employees and the management of the company. I think that Twitter can help join people in the company that have knowledge with people looking for knowledge, and as we know this is the most difficult part of knowledge management in a company. 
So as far a a tool in my personal life i do not see the need for Twitter but i think that it can be a strong tool to help companies with knowledge management.
