I love the fact its easy, not like a formal blog that I struggle to keep updated.

We have a business twitter account -- I could see it being useful at some point in the future when we have a lot of followers, but at this point it generates ~0 traffic.

Our company uses Twitter fairly extensively, but I seldom use it. Most of my personal life updates are on Facebook or Myspace.

I don't have any social networking accounts including but not limited to:
MySpace
Facebook
Twitter

I use Twitter for both personal and business uses, it's definitely useful and fun at the same time.

Yes, for personal use. I tend to find Twitter a better medium to post more varied thoughts than Facebook status updates, which are usually more personal.

I also have seen that many companys only use twitter for posting adverts and coupons, is this so? Do you guys above that post for business on twitter post anything more than coupons?

I use it for personal and business (2 separate accounts).
When it first came along I hated it. But then everyone was using it and I felt a little left behind. Guess in the digital world you have to move with the flow.
I quite like it now.█ Hydro Host – Affordable UK Web Hosting - cPanel

The only option for "I don't use it" says "I hate it". I have an account but I rarely log in. So I guess I don't really use it, but it's not because I hate it.

Personal use, and for the sake of relevant Google results for searching my name. I don't follow people or anything, I just post random stuff whenever I remember to.

I'm active with updates on the "business" side. It's nice to have an additional line of communication with the hardcore fans, in case of downtime or whatnot. And it keeps people in the loop with what you're doing.
