I signed up for a twitter a few weeks ago, but I haven't tweeted much. I really just use it to keep up with my favorite bands/authors/events/topics, and I've found it to be very useful when it comes to that kind of thing. I don't have the intention of using it as a means of social interaction; I have both a facebook and a tumblr, which is another type of blog site, and I keep in touch and converse with my friends through those.
I follow mugglenet, paramore, sugarland, jk rowling, and a sort of fan club for nerds like me who love literature.
I think libraries could most definitely utilize twitter to get the message out about events and announcements; because the tweets are short, sweet, and to the point, people won't be tempted to just skip right over the library's posts.
