I disagree
I think it's nice that there are messages coming from them. Yes, I'm sure there are more private ways of doing it, but would you want constant phone calls/texts/visitors at a time like that?

The cynic in me thinks it's all about the celebrities tying themselves in with it to boost their public image.
They're tweeting their condolences and then five minutes later promoting their latest tv show/tour/book or telling the world they had a hard boiled egg for breakfast via the same medium.

No different from what it'd be in real life then
If a friend of mine tells me their *insert relative here* has died, I'll pass on my condolences, but once I'm off the phone, it doesn't enter my mind again, not until I send them my best wishes on the day of the funeral. It's human.

Yes but this isn't real life it's a social networking site that doesn't work in the same way as speaking to someone on the phone and then hanging up.
You can't really compare the two.

I don't think their motivations are that bad
But I do think that they shouldn't do it.

I think that twitter should fuck off

Agreed, I might ditch my account
I rarely check it, and when I do it's spammed with useless, uninteresting shit.

almost everything anyone has to say is useless and uninteresting
