what benefits come from visualising all of this? Isn't it too much to be digestible?

Not at all. I look for the places where many strings attach. That's where the action is happening.
So basically you are manually sorting for most interacted tweets/people.
Are you doing something else? I ask because I am building something similar
it should scale the points with higher density and decrease the scale of the less connected nodes perhaps this would assist in simplifying the visualisation
