Twitter uses for someone who has no interest in 'twittering'?

[maximus-seneca]

I have no interest in sharing (Twittering) my moment to moment or day to day activities over the interwebs with anyone. I'll mention that I dont know a thing about twitter.
However I keep hearing rumblings about keeping up with news,trends and certain websites via twitter-That caught my ear.
Also I do have a 'smart-phone' that is twitter-client capable.
Would signing up for a twitter account better help me keep up with news etc? If so how? Tips tricks?
Like I said, I know nothing about Twitter.

-Thanks
