I'm a "traditional" twitterer (tweeter?). I post on what I'm doing, though not that often. I usually do it from my phone. I have twitter update facebook. I'm always conscious of where I'm posting, in a public space, private online space (as much as online space is private) or something in between. Twitter worked out quite well when I was driving across country. It was easy for friends to keep up on where I was and how I was doing.
There are more uses for twitter nowadays
-lots of businesses using twitter. I follow some of them
-some of my friends engage in twitter conversations, using the @ feature. It's a bit like facebook, but different. And yes, tweets can be private - you can have a twitter account you make available to only selected people, like facebook.
-using hashtags, the #, click on a hashtag on the twitter page and you get a conversation about something. Since it's free form, no editing (obviously) on the tags, the conversation can get strange.
-retweeting of other people's tweets, to pass them on. I don't generally do that.
As for a business model, twitter isn't profitable yet, unlike facebook, but the startup is pretty new. It will be interesting to see how it all works out.
