There has been a lot of talk about the use of Twitter here at the conference. The #mwrc09 hash-tag has been very well-promoted by the conference staff, and it sounds like there has been a significant amount of traffic... even beating out SXSW. You can take a look at the activity that has been properly tagged at Twemes.
Personally, I see the value in the Twitter facet of the conference as entirely social. It makes it possible for conference participants to meet and connect with one another, but it's not really plausible to discuss most of these topics in non-threaded bursts of 140 characters (not to mention the obligatory hash-tag[s] and any @replies cut down on the number of characters).
