While personally it's evolved into more of a place to rant and vent for myself, it encompasses such a broad range of uses that calling it "useless" is a weak argument, "pointless" is more arguable though I don't believe that to be true either. As a lifelong Chicagoan, and web developer, it's been interesting for me to watch traditional media embrace (or not) trends such as twitter, especially the Tribune since its what I grew up on.
