Registering with U.S. embassy

On the passport (Page 7 of the most recent version) it says Register with U.S. embassy for a prolonged stay. What qualify for "a prolonged stay". Can we register anyway?

I registered my trip anyway at above link. You can add accompanying travellers so that you only need one account for the whole family.

Anything over one month is prolonged stay but even then so why register? You got your Citizenship recently I think and God knows what you are expecting, there is no special treatment by registering that a US embassy will provide if you are not in any need of any consular help.
 
By registering a US mission knows where you are, and if an emergency arises, they can attempt to account for your whereabouts and take appropriate steps, be it airlifting you and other citizens out, or notifying your family if something happens to you.
