One of the fascinating things to me about twitter is that different people use it very differently.

My #1 use of twitter as a consumer is as essentially a human-curated RSS feed. I follow people who tend to post interesting links, and then I read the links they post.

As a producer, I have 2 uses for twitter. 1st is I use it to tweet about things I write or record that I think would be interesting/helpful to people. 2nd is to live-tweet talks at conferences. :)

The second one I highly recommend to folks new to twitter... tag the conference & the speaker, and it helps you connect with other folks at the conference, gives a nice way to help folks who are not at the conference see what is going on, AND is a very nice boost for the speaker when they get off stage to see they weren't talking into a vacuum.
