Below are a couple of links to articles you might find interesting - fairly high-profile assessments of the Twitter phenomenon. And a few thoughts from me:
Twitter Advice
1) Resist the urge to do "having eggs and bacon for breakfast" "now I'm going out for an hour" type posts. These CAN be amusing if you're good at it, but from most people they're not only deadly dull - they fill up a page something wicked. And you know what happens then? ...
2) Don't hesitate to unfollow anyone who bores or annoys you to death. Let them do their thing - BUT - you don't have to watch it: OR get involved.
3) Find someone who speaks your language - be it tech, bizopps or whatever, and start by following a few people from their group - you'll soon feel at home, and if you follow someone with a lot of followers, your radius will grow quickly. Twitter serves a lot of different interests so don't grumble - find your peers.
