Ok... I had to take a deep breath there.
How many people use Twitter? Is it useful? If you don't, do you use that thing on Facebook that allows you to say what you're doing at any given moment? Is that useful?
And again... WHY?
Me personally? I hate both of 'em, but then again, I think this is an aspect of modern culture that I am glad is passing me by. I'd really like to keep up with all the new-fangled toys there are on the web these days, but more often than not, it seems like new ideas like this are ideas for ideas sake and just add to the noise that I take in on a daily basis.
I was also hesitant to start a blog for a long time and I don't even find those useful except as a personal journal, UNLESS, it's a like an opinion article that I wish to read from time to time. Blogs that tell me what random thing someone is doing on any particular day just aren't interesting to me.
Yes! Change is bad! Down with change!
I have never used Twitter, but I do have a blog. I agree that I am not terribly interested in the day to day goings on of most bloggers. However, I would argue that posting is very cathartic. I also enjoy reading the introspective blogs of others.
Get off mah porch!
...and get a hair-cut, hippie!
Welcome to freedom of speech and the price of it: not all speech will be things you agree with or like or consider worthwhile but so long as it is subject to 'Such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society' it will be out there.
Incidentally, I don't like or see the need for those things either but I don't need to pay attention to them and so I don't.
Basic rule with these sorts of internet gizmos: use it if you want, ignore it if you don't. There are too many things to do for you to fret over these things (although if you or a group you belong to are being attacked, condemned, etc. - then you may need to take notice to respond to the attacks, but if there is no interest or threat, no need to pay it any mind)

Well, I'm not so much concerned about the freedom of speech thing as I am just wondering about... isn't this just another way of sitting around with your friends talking about nothing?

Avoided all those things myself so maybe but hey again ignore it if you don't see a need to acknowledge it.
