Changing your TTL can be quite useful in some situations, namely in a dynamic dns situation. I use zoneedit.com and a utility called ddclient (which supports 100's of ddns services around the web) for updating dns so I can always access my home machine, and have a TTL of 5mins (300sec)
Another friend on a more stable connection than me, has his TTL set to 2hours on his DNS servers. If you're doing a lot of DNS, it can be worth researching what all of the settings are, you might save yourself a lot of headaches in some specific situations.
