I do for my business (@ethicstweet) and check in now and then on #pedalsteel. However, as for the pointless babble - and there is certainly plenty of it - I just don't get the point of it. Thankfully, one can 'turn off' all that babble, or avoid it altogether, just by not following the babblers.
Once I finally took the plunge into Twitter - and it was tough to convince to me to try it - I've been amazed at how helpful it's been in the non-music part of my professional life.
