Then seeing many @ replies to others, to clicked on other people's names to see what kind of things they tweeted. If it was of interest and/or relevant to my career, I'd follow them. After following, it's just a matter of interacting with them instead of just watching them tweet. Well I started with a few people that I knew.

It's an amazing communication tool. In that sense, it also takes some work and effort to get value out of it. It's not something you just setup and you're golden. It takes a little time to get a network of people (in Twitter) around you, but once you have it, it's awesome and very powerful. LinkedIn is great too, but it's a little less intense as a social tool than Twitter, I'd say.
