Such additional uses by Twitter, or other companies, organizations or individuals who partner with Twitter, may be made with no compensation paid to you with respect to the Content that you submit, post, transmit or otherwise make available through the Services.
What does that mean?

Basically, anything you post can be used by Twitter or any other company with which they're affiliated for the "additional uses," which are probably defined in the previous paragraph. You probably wouldn't get paid for such "additional uses."
They own a (presumably nonexclusive) license to use whatever you post to Twitter, not unlike the LawGuru terms of use under which LawGuru gets a nonexclusive license to use LawGuru answers written by myself and the other volunteer attorneys who inhabit this site. In other words if you have written anything you want protected by copyright, for example your 160-character outline of your Hollywood screenplay, don't tweet it.
