Depends on the focus and audience, I guess.

I have a Ruby blog with about 18000 subscribers and about 400 choose to subscribe via Twitter. Hardly a great percentage, but not bad. Another has 3600 subscribers and 400ish Twitter followers too which is much stronger.

I also have a new iPhone blog with about 1500 subscribers so far, but 250 extra on Twitter - so.. a very vocal audience is there if you're willing to engage.

That's what I am talking about - some computer types might use twitter, normal people don't. Unless you are building a product for programmers twitter is too niche and all this busy activity outlined in the article will be useless.
