Two things. It allows people to place themselves at the center of the information stream (or at least gives them the perception that they're at the center). And it enables them to do so in the most convenient and ubiquitous manner possible: on text-enabled mobile devices. I suspect (with absolutely no data at hand to back up my suspicion) that far more people are active Twitterers than they are monitors of Tweets. That's regarding social users, of course, because I know a few people, journalists mostly, who monitor Twitter actively for professional reasons. However, they limit their incoming Tweets to only professionally relevant sources. I doubt it's the professional users who drove Twitter's popularity.
