Livejournal used to be my main read, but it's very quiet compared to other networks. Still, I check it a couple of times a day. Ditto Facebook, which I've found most of my friends are on.
Twitter gets checked very regularly, and is how I get a lot of my tech jobs. LinkedIn gets checked daily as well for similar reasons (but I forgot to mention it in the poll). Hacker News is becoming more of an active site for me as well, and lately I've been thinking it's a more useful information source for me than anything else I use.
Writing:
I'll probably post 6 or 8 messages to Twitter in a day, and maybe the same number of replies. Facebook will get a status update every couple of days. I feel sort of dirty touching it more than that.
I posted a bunch of messages to LinkedIn yesterday, and discovered it was a pretty good way of drawing in potential business. I'm going to try and do that more.
My LJ has become my diary - it's very nearly ten years old - so I try and write something on it at least once a week. I'll occasionally go for weeks without writing something substantial though.
And I love taking photos and uploading them to Flickr, but haven't really had much inspiration lately. It's hard to find anything as visually interesting as anything in my road trip album from this Christmas; it's all a bit grey and drab. I'll probably take more as we get closer to summer.
Yeah, your Twitter usage sounds like the way it's designed to be used. I've discovered that because it's blocked at work it's pretty much no use to me, I can't use it "conversationally".

1. While ten years ago my Internet usage was entirely personal, these days it's almost all about business and career.
2. I'm kidding myself that Twitter is useful for business. Probably need to cut down on it.
