Ask HN: How Do You Use Twitter?

[metaforth]

Do you use the generic UI at http://www.twitter.com? Do you use http://search.twitter.com? Or do you surf it some other way? I am seriously not getting twitter. What am I doing wrong?

For Search: It depends on what you want. If you want a "human powered" real time search, use Twitter. e.g finding out if where a live stream of an event is showing. Or Facebook ad coupon. Something that would more likely be put out there by a human.

For Tweeting, I use it more like a public chat system
