My town has a bulletin board posted adjacent to the sidewalk near the post office. It's labeled "The Town Cryer" and fliers for local events, businesses etc. get posted there.

That is what I see the Twitter/microblog format as useful for. It's for stand up comics and musical acts to post "come see us LIVE at the Somewhere Dome in Citytown This Saturday a 8/7c." Or for ISPs to post "Service interruption in the Carolinas, repairs underway, expect service to resume at 9 pm."

Other than that and it's just All Old Men Yell At Cloud.
