The fact that it can be used as a medium for international news doesn't peak your interest even remotely?

I agree with you points.   I'm not interested in subscribing to twitter shitters.   I'm not trying to find another place that just does what another   tool does.   I find it has a unique, even if not perfectly defined, purpose.  

Censorship is upsetting.   Should the time come, I'd rather go up in arms than be silenced.

The reason you can't find a unique purpose for it is because it doesn't have one. RSS already does everything Twitter can, as far as I can tell. The only difference is that Twitter is centralized. If there was someone interesting who Twittered but didn't RSS, I might grudginly consider it, but I just can't see that happening.
