Having looked at a few twitter accounts, it seems mostly pointless to me, too. There is at least one actual use I have a seen. A fellow running a web site has a twitter account which he uses to report problems, or rather his awareness of them and what he's doing about them, on a site other than his own. That way if the site is down or something he can still get word out, "I know about it. Here's what's happening."

But why can't he just send text messages? Or make telephone calls? I suppose twitter would do for an impromptu debugging log--especially if the geek doing the debugging was seeking advice from a distant friend, as [livejournal.com profile] esrblog sometimes does.

The site he has is a journaling site with a few thousand users. He doesn't use Twitter to notify tech support folks, but to keep his users informed.

I see. So there is a defined community with a reason to be interested in 140 character posts from him. Okay, I can see that as working too; that's three specialized uses for twitter so far.
