For me it's basically an RSS feed with comments. Very valuable for learning about and keeping up to date with narrow industry news/trends.
Also a good way to connect with people professionally, but less formally than LinkedIn.
The major downside is that is that a tight group or individual can get put on blast to the whole of twitter, and then just get ignorant vitriol thrown at them and that kind of ruins the whole experience. Happened to me not long ago. Not that big of a deal in the end. Just take a week off and come back and the hive will have found something else to attack. The Twitter universe has a pretty short attention span - even if it has a long memory.
