If you follow enough people (or check out a site that takes Twitter feeds and compiles them instantly), you get that instant news effect. There are some Twitter feeds of people in Iran at the moment that were talking about the Iranian election days before CNN gave enough of a shit to start posting about it.

It has a lot of benefits...it just depends on how you choose to use it.
twitter was supposed to have downtime today but it was delayed cause people were tweeting about the Iran election and protests, but theres nothing about the protests on CNN, so they didnt want to seem like they were censoring or witholding live news.
