I don't but I'm from the Swedish generation Y that grew up with social networks that was light years ahead of MySpace. I actually created an account on Twitter as a result of an discussion on HN but it wasn't at all interesting or engaging.
Personally I find twittering too short to express much of anything worth reading creating an extremely high noise to signal ratio. I'm sure it's great for people who are truly interested in what their idol is doing throughout the day but I find it verry difficult to idolize.
Twitter to me feels like a reading IRC but you only get to read one line at a time and even though there's millions of people in the room almost everyone is engaged in broadcasting instead of conversations.
Although I must say I've enjoyed using the twitter search to see what people are engaged in. It's like sitting at a cafe and just observing people, blissful entertainment.
I use Facebook though.
