It's Blah. I enjoy tweeting. It feeds my infovoracity, and lets me dump links.
I also get the shyts with folks piping their tweets through LJ, but thankfully most of them cut them. Whic reminds me, I need to gently prode a couple of folks who don't.
I 'm averse to ever joining twitter; in fact I'm seriously considering going back to paper & pen snail mail letters to keep in touch with people. Really, how much of what goes through people's heads each day does everyone else need to know?
I use it as a ping system for friends and such, as much as anything else - since I can access it literally anywhere with my mobile, it takes very little effort to update Twitter, as opposed to LJ which can take a lot more effort (and delay - my mind jumps everywhere, I can't rely on thoughts still being in my head when I get home). Also, I find that Twitter is slightly more intimate than other forms of communication - people rant about the boring minutae that people post on Twitter, but to be honest, that's really part of the appeal to me - I get a much closer interaction with my friends because I get to see those little things they do during the day

I don't use it enough to consider it an effective mode of communication. I'm not clear on why I signed up except for the fact that all the cool kids were using it. :) And perhaps to ensure that 'sandypaw' remains an ID for me. I like the political tweets from my local MPs, and having Stephen Fry as a friend is kinda cool in a geeky way but I don't use it much.
