For me Twitter is useful for sharing links, but not for a conversation. I know they've tried to retool it so that it better enables discussion, but really it's just a stream. The necessary tools aren't there to allow people to filter other people's tweets and selectively-cast their own tweets. Not without third party tools anyway. So past a certain number of follows, it's just noise.
