Right now, I'm almost always catching up on twitter, even overnight. I ignore buzzes that I missed (mainly because the interface is too confusing to quickly read what's new).
To me, twitter is the main way of keeping up with what's going on with my friends and the world (I rarely consciously read "news"), so I want to miss as little as possible. I'm following around 350 people, mostly from my time zone. When I don't sleep in, catching up with the night timeline takes about 15 minutes; to me this is time well spent.
I don't know what role buzz will serve when the dust settles down; since the unread count doesn't distinguish uninteresting-comments-on-buzzes-I've-read from really new stuff, I'm mostly ignoring it anyway.
