Yes. If you're asking that question, then Twitter is lost on you. For now.
It's like happening upon a pad of post-it notes. You either say "Sweet, I have a use for these," or you say "Hmm," and file it away somewhere.
Eventually, you may develop a need that is filled by little bits of paper with weak-sauce glue on the back, and remember about the post-it notes.
Likewise, you may eventually develop a need to episodically distribute short bits if information to a well-defined audience, and you might think "I could do this with Twitter. Or post-it notes and a cadre of flying monkeys."
Agreed. I generally don't use Twitter, but at PyCon it was great for finding out, say, that everyone else wasn't appreciating the same talk you were attending and that there was something much better happening in room 3.
