Filling out a profile and leaving a URL is very important. It is how I decide who I will follow. Sometimes I'll use a person's tweets, but often I'll just use their bio and URL. Another reason the bio is very important is it is often used in directories, and likeminded people are finding you through your bio. If you have no bio or a very silly one w/o good keywords, you won't have others finding you. Take your bio seriously and change it when necessary as the situation warrants, is my advice.

Grant,

Given that Twitter is searchable on Google, how important are keywords in the bio section?

MIght be important, but with only 160 characters to do your bio, is there really room to worry too much about them. In addition, IMHO one should be more worried about writing your bio to the people checking you out than to Google or the other search engines.
