A pure one-way notification system is not a "twitter variant", but a completely different beast altogether.

The draw of the twitter-like approach is that the government messages are a portion of an existing stream of communication that people are already using/consuming.

The article is about governments using twitter to send notifications. Lots - perhaps most - use twitter exclusively this way.
