I started a Twitter blog not that long ago. In contrast to something like Facebook (at present), I can have a public micro-blog and be anonymous if I want to be. I only tweet about technical stuff I'm working on, rather than what I ate for dinner or what's on TV, and follow friends on a different account or via RSS. Mostly my tweets and feedback help keep me motivated without spending the time I would on a full length blog post (or coming here for that matter :). It's interesting to see people filtering for keywords and just automatically following you if you use those words (surely in an attempt to gain followers). After the first post where I mentioned Ubuntu, I suddenly had a spike in followers, but all of them were following thousands of people and have never tweeted back to me.
