you get out of it what you want, it's subscription based, so you can make it as useful or as horrific as you please. There are good feeds for pretty much every kind of thing you could be interested in. I really don't get how people can say it's rubbish, it's closer to a medium than a specific site imo. Sure some people won't get a lot out of it, but the same could be said of RSS feeds or even email, doesn't mean it's without use.

Oh and I use it daily, and post too much on it, hopefully usually more interesting stuff than what I had to eat though.

I have an account and actively use it though I only tweet if I feel the need to. I don't intentionaly tweet every little thing going on so there's days I never post and days I post a lot.

Great if you follow interesting people who provide interesting links to articles that you wouldn't have found otherwise. :)
 
Have an account and use it.

Use it for a mixture of work, keeping in touch with friends and finding out about the latest bomb scares in Hackney.
 
I follow a handful of people on twitter, mainly developers in the Android scene because the moment they release a cool update to an app or rom I know about it on my phone \m/

Stuff like this is what Twitter should be used for.

Social comms are done on Facebook. Twitter is business and quick links only. I have 22 or so Twitter followers ^_^ I try t post interesting and fun links from time to time.

This thread is summed up by what option is getting the most votes. How can people that don't use it know they don't like it?

"Dude have you seen that new movie, Avatar?"
"Nope, it's rubbish!"

Makes no sense.

I should add, I don't have a page as nobody cares but I find it fun to use. It is always by far the quickest in terms of breaking stories and news.
 
I have a page but I can't make myself use it. I'm just not the sort of person full of amusing platitudes at all hours of the day.
 
It's not very good in terms of social networking for frends.

but when companies want to shoot out some information quickly with a short easy message then it's ideal and you can stream all your favorite companies/celebs/heroes etc through this and know what they're planning on doing, whats being released etc.

it's a very useful tool.
 
I have an account, I don't 'tweet' but I do use it to follow a few people mostly relating to computer games.
 
Never used it, frankly don't see the point. If anyone's actually interested in what i'm doing or thinking every few hours of the day then i worry more for them than for myself :o

Can see the merits for someone on a production team posting a message about a product's development, but other than that..completely pointless imho.
