Lol. Well, I don't follow celebrities so I don't have that whole "at the mall with <insert person here>" thingy. I follow tech bloggers and my friends, mostly. They usually post stuff I do care about. Again, depends who you're following. You could call Google stupid too, if you only search for animal porn all day, but when you use it for something productive it's awesome.

FYI, I can debate about learning nothing from Twitter, because...
1. It's a social, real-time search engine: you can read people's thoughts of any subject at real time. You can find links to reviews, articles, or just opinions on any tweet you search. Google made a real-time search deal with Twitter/Facebook for a reason. So beyond "official" articles about something from a big time writer, sometimes you can get a word from your friends about a per se movie, friends that you can trust and value their opinions more than someone random. Oh, and again, that's on top of finding links to filtered (crap links removed) articles and reviews about anything. And it's not limited to reviews and articles, that's just an example.
2. Your friends post links to articles, videos, pics etc. on Twitter, and you can learn everything from those just as you would from Google. Big major differences are -- in Google you can only actively search something, while in Twitter you can find out about new things that might interest you by passively finding them in your feed. You only need to follow people with similar interests to yours. So again, if you don't try out Twitter, or don't at least try to value what it's meant to be, you can't expect us to value your opinions of a matter you don't understand about. Btw, best "researching" is actually trying the thing out. Like you can't say a cigarette tastes bad unless you try a smoke
