I went through the classic phases - signed up, messed around for a bit, got bored, lost interest, and then suddenly came back and now I'm a regular user.
I follow about 60-odd people - and what is nice is that they tweet bits of news - you know, kinda relevant to the topics I post about in my blog. Gives me something to write about - on one hand, or gives me something to tweet out to my followers. Some of them tweet out some more personal day to day stuff in between as well - but I think it gives their feed a bit of personality.
Also a pretty handy tool to promote blog-posts.
Seeing as though I regularly use my Failbook account I don't see a point to join Twitter as well. I suppose it would be interesting in some ways but it seems a little self-indulgent to let people know what I'm doing every other hour. Something about it that makes me feel uncomfortable I guess.
Facebook: for people who give a s--t what you had for lunch.
Twitter: for posting relevant and useful links.
A lot of people on twitter think there's some quota of BS they have to fill, but I just unfollow them and follow people who regularly post interesting links and not random spam.

LOL as soon as people start tweeting their life story I unfollow them (on twitter) just check the people I'm following, now those people are interesting ;-)
For example that article about the cod7 dev liking "Lego CoD?" I saw the the morning before
I use tweedeck and it has an awesome feature to block tweets according to a blacklist of words ,this one dev had started playing "godfinger" and the damn thing updated his twitter every time he got something, so I just blocked #godfinger![]()
What FokenWury said.
Miss bucket, You should use Twitter to broadcast links to your blogs (EDIT: Like Shadowfox pointed out). Or let people know of cool gaming articles / reviews / releases / specials you came across.
Twitter feed != Facebrick emo updates.
The most prized follows I have on twitter are:
"The shit my dad says" (which is very funny)
and
"TED talks" - TED ftmfw! Ingenious inventions and discoveries on display. The TED conference is actually on this month.
Also, our gaming clan site has a twitter account, so each time a new thread is created it's listed on Twitter.
