To do what?

A newspaper I get. Forming opinions is easy with a newspaper.

But with twitter? Manipulating Twitter trends? Who cares?

You realize twitter is most likely far more powerful at shaping opinion than any single newspaper? Fox News Facebook and Twitter are probably among the top 5 such mind control outlets. I am not on Twitter but I am motivated to research the reach Twitter has vs the TV networks, the major news papers and the bigger social networks which of course dwarf what we used to call MainStream Media.
