Twitter is for people who either like getting text messages, like getting frequent updates on what other people are doing and don't mind getting it via text message, or find it most convenient to use text messaging themselves when making note of their own daily activities.
I signed up when I was going to be able to text message more conveniently than anything else, thinking that it might help me update LJ more-- there is a free service that collects the Twitter messages you send and then posts them to LJ in chunks at whatever time or times you've preset.
Since I myself don't want to get text messages unless it's important (for scheduling, or an important "got home safely" notification, or I need to communicate with someone when one or both of us are in an environment where we can't talk by voice over the phone), I don't "follow" or "watch" anyone else on Twitter-- I just signed up so I could use the service that turns a bunch of Twitter posts into one longer LJ post.
