Funny, I recently got into Twitter about two years ago. I've ditched Facebook b/c its creepy af, prefer my own static site with Disqus for blogging (won't get taken down, or at least easily portable if Github or AWS eventually fails), and consider Tumblr a cultural wasteland.
The important thing about Twitter is it's a really good real-time online CV/resume. I basically use it to tweet about things I care about professionally, and then link my Twitter account on my other personal pages. That way I can keep my personal pages relatively generic and point potential employers, employees, customers, or partners at my Twitter if they want to see a more current snapshot of my professional activities.
For the most part I don't get involved in the naval-gazing self-back-patting "Twitter Community" either, nor do I post about mundane personal shit, I keep it all professional-related. Most of my posts are intended for non-Twitter users (or at least people coming to my profile from origins other than Twitter) who are vetting me for some business opportunity.
