I don't have a Twitter account, so I have no personal experience.
My brother, who works in Hollywood, however has. I remember seeing him post a back & forth with Larry the Cable Guy a few months ago. I'm sure he has many others too due to his connections in LaLa Land (he used to work for Spike Jonze, where he met his ex-wife who worked for Sophia Coppola).

If I did, I'd be the last person to know about it since I don't have a Twitter account either.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

He who MUST get the last word in on a pointless, endless argument doesn't win. It makes him the bigger jerk.

I have not been tweeted by anyone, ever. Still thinking if I should get a twitter account but haven't found a compelling reason yet... But I have to admit that Asia Argento almost won me over.

Closely followed by Facebook (in my opinion). Personally, I can't see any use for either of them. But maybe that's just me.

I use Twitter as a promotional platform only, so strangely agree with you all, BUT, it has increased site traffic and helped us grow.

Facebook? I have a fake account I needed to be able to talk to relatives of a forum member who hadn't posted on another site in some time (he had died   RIP elwhoppo), but I do not use it.

Can't for the life of me figure out not only how to use Twitter .. productively .. But Why anyone would use it . .It seems to to me to be a ''Mass Texting '' account to any anyone who would follow you..

I have setup a twitter account maybe two years ago and have used it maybe only three times ..I have three followers and one is my son  and the other two are a news organization sites ..

I have no friends who take any interest in me and vice versa 
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

After learning that Grant Imahara watches my Kitten Cam, I did a litter with a Mythbuster's theme. Both Grant & Kari tweated about them.
