Bryan,
You are quite correct. Twitter is an invaluable resource for me. It keeps me up to date on news, sports, ham radio stuff, etc. I spend a lot of time every day scrolling through my Twitter feed.
Many operators who are out traveling to different grids keep people updated of their progress on Twitter - which passes they will work in a grid, etc. If provided, I add this information to the AMSAT Upcoming Satellite Operations page (http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=3921)
W5PFG posted a list a while back of satellite ops on Twitter: http://www.w5pfg.us/2014/08/ham-satellite-ops-on-twitter.html
Of course, there are more to add since that list was made!

Twitter. @amsat Most active satellite ops get a handle to match their call. I'm @kl7cn and look for @wd9ewk @prstoetzer and follow who they follow. Many people there!

Is there like a chat room where OSCAR or any Sat for that matter hang out in?
