Twitter might be of use to someone who is tied all day to a computer in a cubicle in the corporate world, but doesn't do much for me. I've just signed up for an account and will follow Michael, but I agree with one other person who made the comment that she couldn't see people's needs to follow the most minute details of each other's lives.
One area where I can see this as being useful is in the library commission's twitter. The little posts are like "news flashes" of different things that might be relevant to other libraries.
Here in a small town, we have our own twitter. When the neighbors see that UPS has delivered a large box to me, they know there will shortly be new books at the library ... their twitter is much faster than anything I could do to get the news out in any other way.
