Twitter can indeed be fun - I follow several people who give me a lot of enjoyment with their assorted views on life, the universe and whiskey.
It can be useful too - many organisations have their best customer service people on their twitter feeds - I've solved a few irritating problems very quickly there after futile struggling with phone and/or chat sessions - it's now my first resort for attempting to get decent service from any recalcitrant companies.
The general level of hate is rising though - harmless tweets can attract vile nutters with an axe to grind over perceived/invented wrongs - for example, Victoria Coren-Mitchell got a barrage of abuse recently when just mildly defending the appearance of a team member on Only Connect.
