I don't agree with you that it's on the decline and it depends on who you follow as to what type of information you get. For the tech and news industry, I believe Twitter is an indispensible source of information and crowd-sourcing. It alerts me to things that television news becomes aware of two beats (or days) later.

For instance, the night of the Wendy Davis filibuster, I never would have known what was happening if I hadn't been on Twitter. As we watched the clock count down to midnight together, I got chills. I've never experienced a legislative vote like that and I shared it with so many people because of Twitter.
