For me, it's mostly like asynchronous semi-public IM, which I find I greatly prefer to regular IM (which feels like an intrusion most of the time). There's an interesting casualness to it as well; the water cooler analogy is great. I wrote more about the role this kind of chatter can have for relationships here: http://goldenhammer.darusha.ca/?p=183 I was in the anti-twitter camp for a long time, then I finally did get suckered into it.

it’s good for microblogging too…

as for facebook – i mostly use it to checkin on and experiment w/ community-based framework application stuff (work related) – but it also lets me interact w/ my son sean while he’s off at college in a less formal way than email…

i do still use aim (mostly for work) and skype (mostly for personal) – its all just stuff in the quiver – nothing to get to caught up in – just tools dave…

It's also a major source of referrals to my blog and podcast (second only to Google search). I use twitter to get a input on ideas even faster than blogs can provide. No one I'm aware of in my twit-o-sphere uses the SMS side. Dave, working from home, Twitter is my water-cooler.
