One is personal and protected. I have ~20 active contacts. I don't really care for more. I use it to catch links to breaking news items, for Q&A, and for short exchanges. I also use it to collect information/keywords for a personal project of mine (those twits get saved and all the rest are deleted every day or so).
The other is new, unprotected and is both a kind of micro-blog as well as a way announce posts on my primary blog. I don't/won't "follow" any other accounts with it. I post links and short comments about stuff I find online that's interesting but not so interesting I want to spend a lot of time writing a full blog entry about it. For those things I write the entry and post a twit to it.
Working for me.

"This is something that I’ve seen amplified this week with the avalanche of Twitter follows I’ve reciprocated this week since Adam urged me to publish the Twitter names of the Mashable editorial and writing staff this week"
About 1/6th of the words in this sentence are "this week". More like "that's weak".
