For some, it's for pushing out ideas and commentary on their work and the occasional bit of inter-office banter for all to see.
And for others, they talk about their lives, interacting with friends in a way that is, for some, even more accessible than anything else.
And yes, there will be issues of 'twittetiquette' or other, stranger and more unwieldly terms. All new forms of communication have this.
From Usenet's posting guidelines.. to people trying to avoid the use of acronyms on IRC.. So-called 'Grammar Nazis' on so many forums.
And then, on the flipside, for many kids today, you're seen as strange if you aren't heavy on the acronymns, abbreviations and emoticons.
In short, Twitter is what you want to do with it. It's a blank slate where you create what you want, at upto 140 characters at a time.
And you may notice that prove my point, each of the little mini-paragraphs above.. are all under 140 characters. :)
