I run an incredibly boring business (SSL certs for Heroku), for which:
1. The majority of my alpha and beta testers came from Twitter.
2. The second highest source of traffic to both my marketing site [1] and the actual add-ons page [2] is from Twitter.
3. All of the testimonials on my site (which have been incredibly helpful in convincing people my service is useful are actually Twitter embeds)
4. There was a Heroku presentation given in Tokyo where my add-on was brought up as an example, which someone in the audience then tweeted about in Japanese. This triggered an alert on my computer (from Tweetdeck) and I was then able to on the fly answer questions people there had about it.
To me, with the people I follow, Twitter seems more like a programmers / startups meetup or conference than anything else.
