In general, it makes sense to utilize Twitter to its fullest potential. Using Twitter as yet another RSS feed is not the way to do that. Twitter really excels as a communication tool, and people who use it that way find the most success. Twitter can be a great way to engage a community and gauge how the community is doing. @Daniel,
