Doesn't seem to add any value. When I receive one from a followee, I sorta do a shoulder shrug. However I have been known to wish a good weekend or holiday. I don’t do daily greetings.

I think that makes it more open to greetings (like "good morning", "hello", and "good night"). If it was all about giving information and never conversing, I might see that it might not be something open to such things. I personally will sometimes give a "good morning" or a "good night". It isn't part of my daily Twitter routine, though. It seems like Twitter, at times, is like a big conversation.

As a side, I just got a mental picture of a Waltonesque house with everyone saying good night via twitter. Good night @Grandma, Good night @johnboy hmmm. Sorry, back on topic... I find twitter to be less beneficial as it becomes more popular/full of static. Even with tweetdeck to organize those I follow it is challenging to listen/pay attention. What used to be a small get together has turned into New Years Eve in Times Square. The value of listening is still there, but after the fact, using searches, not in real time.
