For 99% of users, Twitter is the equivalent of schoolgirls passing notes in class.

I only keep my account somewhat active because I feel I have to to cover my bases. If I was in another business I would not waste a second on it.

I follow about 250 people but rarely read their tweets unless I happen to be doing my weekly mandatory tweets and I'll scan the current tweets in the timeline. It amazes me that I can go on almost any time and see the same few people tweeting.

The only people that get real value are the ones with followings before they come to twitter like some of the popular bloggers or Guy k. Twitter gives them and easy and free way to communicate with their masses without writing a blog post.
