Since 2007 or so, I haven't seen a good use case for Xitter other than situations where mass messaging is necessary. Like a utility company announcing maintenance or outages. Why do people care so much about what other people think?

My dear mother taught me that opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one and they all stink.

Wise woman.
