Drew couldn't be more correct. Understanding how to use it correctly is the whole key. I fucked around with it for about a month before it finally clicked just how useful a tool it is. I don't Myspace or Facebook and rarely if ever send out a twitter message, but I follow over 250 people. Almost everyone of them to gather hockey information as it breaks. If someone is injured and declared "out" for a game.....the information breaks on Twitter long before it ever gets to you using a line service. And I expect that kind of information to be available for free via Twitter before long if it isn't already available somewhere. And I've only took advantage of it for capping hockey, I fully expect it to be an equally useful tool for fantasy football in the fall. It really is a fantastic service.
Couple really cool places in Vancouver:
Salt Tasting Room - http://www.salttastingroom.com/index.html
Wicked tapas-style experience that's customized to you and constantly changing/seasonal, tough to describe but it's a trendy spot right now.
http://www.fuelrestaurant.ca/ - Fuel Restaurant is another great spot, voted best new restaurant in the city. Little pricier but outstanding tasting menus.
Wild Rice - http://www.wildricevancouver.com/
Another cool little spot, modern asian cooking, really tasty stuff from there. Middle price range.
If someone tweeted inside info on a game you were looking to bet would you give a shit? If someone wanted to hire your business or use your service because of a valuable twitter post would you give a shit?
Businesses or any type of organizations that have your attitude ignoring social media are getting left in the dust by those who aren't.
