If you do, who do you follow? Do you have many followers? I follow mostly Disney tweeters and I have about 1500 followers. I'm a film-tv nerd so I like keeping up with everything via twitter.

I do. I follow a wide variety of people... though television, news, culinary and history are probably the big ones.

I do, but I only started it so I can send messages to my son. I follow mostly news sites, but I also follow drunk history and the CIA.

I love Twitter! I have both a personal and professional/school account. I follow different people for both. My personal account, mostly family and friends and some trash tv stuff.

Yes, but mostly to follow news. It is especially helpful to me for keeping up with local news. Especially the "community calendar" type posters -- what's going on in the area, events, new businesses opening, etc.

I have a twitter account and I LOVE it. I follow mainly sportspeople, news accounts and a few celebrities. I don't tweet very often but I check it several times a day, especially if there's something happening in any of the sports we follow. It's where I get a lot news, particularly sports news. Wouldn't be without it.

No. can you explain why I should?? Maybe i just don't understand it I love it because it gives me a great snapshot of what's going on around the world. I can get on the ground information for breaking news, events that I'm attending or just random things going on around the area of the people I follow. It gives me headlines from the major outlets and news from the smaller outlets that others have retweeted that I may not have otherwise seen. I've found out about some fascinating factoids and resources for my work and I've even gotten some freelancing gigs off of twitter. It's basically an information repository. And it's fascinating to read events in real time rather than afterward.

I love Twitter. I have a few friends I follow// who follow me. Mainly I use my account as a newsfeed: I don't permanently "follow" all of the outlets but it is easy to open a trending topic or to search when something is up. What I mean by that is a permanent "follow" would give me a cluttered timeline and a feeling of being behind, so I tune in as & when I have a need to, or time on my hands.
Shameless namedrop alert: I follow Tim Holtz and Mr BTS, MarioJ...R... and am lucky enough to have them as my followers too- as friends, because trust me, my crafting skills are strictly amateurish.

I don't Tweet but I Twitter if that makes sense. I follow a bunch of people. I find that I hear about breaking news first from Twitter. I'm not a FB user, don't like it. I only use it to connect with 1 special group of friends other than that, I don't use it.

I do. I mostly use it for professional (teaching, technology) purposes. I follow very few purely entertainment twitter feeds/hashtags.
It's an excellent professional resource for teaching.

I don't, don't really need to add that to everything else! However, DS echoes this about being an excellent professional teaching resource - for medicine in his case.

Twitter is incredibly useful during emergencies. I have a list set up with local government, police, fire, and news station accounts so that when there are wildfires I can follow the spread of the fire, road closures, evacuation orders, etc. I imagine it would be useful for any emergency situation.
ETA - Specific emergencies (named wildfires for example) will develop their own hashtags as well so that you can get info from people you're not following.
