Yeah I know it sounds really cheesy and everything but "I had one before it was cool". I kinda hate the people that Ellen Degeneres has brought to Twitter.
I watch a lot of techTV, read a lot of blogs on upcoming web applications, watch a lot of diggnation etc. I'm a nerd. I like twitter because it's easy. I can post on twitter and it automatically posts on facebook so I hit a nerd target audience and my friends in one shot. I can post on blip.fm and that autoposts to twitter and then to fb, so I can send music to a music nerd/regular nerd and my friends. I can use twitter from my cell and it eliminates the cost of facebook mobile.
Twitter has come in handy in emergency situations. i was lost once and knew the person looking for me had access to the internet but not a phone, so I posted on twitter about being lost and he got the message and found me. Same thing when I have my cell and dont want to waste money texting 10 people about plans, I just post to twitter and it can forward to them for me.
There are a lot of smart people on twitter that I wouldn't normally have access to when I need help with computer problems. I had a bunch of people trying to help me over twitter with a rendering issue I had yesterday in 3D Studio. I get publicity when it comes to my ideas, and finding web design related followers now will help me when I want to start a business.
Endless possibilities, just depends how in depth your internet use is I guess.
