Just curious, why are you trying to evangelize Twitter?

I think your approach of "try it and see if you like it" is the best overall.

I've been on/using Twitter for a while now (year or 2, have lost track). It does have value, but I find myself using it less, not more. Part of the problem is that it seems the more people you follow the less valuable it becomes, due to basic S/N ratios.

It has obvious value to me, and the more people use it, the more that value increases. The increase is even greater when those new twitterers are people that I know, since they likely end up in my twitter network.
