What?
I have never used Twitter in any serious capacity.
There are plenty of ways to get all this information and thinking that Twitter is the de-facto place to get emergency life or death situation notifications is downright laughable.
As far as I can tell, I haven't gotten swept up by a tornado yet because I don't have Twitter to see severe storm alerts.
If your only source of news or alerts is a single service run by a corporation that isn't beholden to anyone but themselves, that's your problem.
