I signed up for Twitter and recently found people and other things to follow that interest me. But what is there to do other than hoping you get a stream on your page from one of your followers. What do you do on Twitter?

Using Twitter as you would use Facebook is not the proper thing to do.
First of all, Twitter is web service that is a good complement to online publications. If your publication needs to make announcements or generate backlinks, Twitter is better than Facebook esp. when you want to reach crowds outside your circle.
More importantly, Twitter can be used for branding purposes esp. when you are marketing a product, service or company. If you are marketing a person (e.g., yourself), starting with zero credentials at Twitter will be a bit boring for a long, long time until you get recognition.

After reading more in this category after my post, you are absolutely right. Eventually I want to use it for exactly promoting and not myself. Thanks so much for your response it was very helpful.

I have twitter, but don't really use it that much... it's a bit like your just updating what your upto whenever you want, so your friends and family can read... maybe better to compare it to your status on facebook perhaps. I follow my favourite celebrities, as I like to know what they are up to i don't mean like in their personal life, but like tv shows, or if they have new dvd/cd out etc that type of thing, and sometimes they reply to you, which is quite wierd, but nice at the same time

Since my post, like I stated to dollybaby, I found a few places I was interested in and obtain some followers. So I thought ... maybe since we share some of the same interests that I would see who they are following. I don't think I would get on twitter often but maybe once or twice a week. I am on here or facebook more for social sites. Thanks Rosie for your comment.
