I’m curious: are any of you using twitter yet? I’ve been watching it blow up over the past few months, and it seems like in the past few weeks it’s seriously caught on. The site blurb describes the app as
A global community of friends and strangers answering one simple question: What are you doing? Answer on your phone, IM, or on the web...I’m not using it myself, since I’m too private for an app like this to appeal to me. The only time I can see myself using it is when I’m traveling and don’t have the time to regularly blog.
Still, the ways other folks are using it are fascinating: for instance, I was intrigued by the way Maggie Mason used it (and flickr) to keep the masses updated during her labor. The idea of twitter fiction has a lot of possibilities, and no doubt people will find business applications for it. Darth Vader and John Edwards already have.

Good point and I would like to see the profiles of those who claim to be prolific users of twitter.
