Also, twitter is great for getting a brief lay of the land for what's happening in ongoing games if I'm not watching. I'll pop onto twitter on my phone if I'm out one night and can quickly see in ~30 seconds what's going on in the games, whether there have been any injuries or other noteworthy occurrences, who's playing well, etc.

I do the same thing. Twitter is like a news feed for me. I also tweet during games just for the heck of it. It's a lot easier to talk through the Twitter app on my phone than to sit there and hit refresh in the GDT.
