I think I can see some benefit of it as a networking tool though. If you have a bunch of people that actually care about what you are doing (not that I say I do, but you never know) then it looks like it can be a useful broadcast mechanism.

I think that has more to do with the tools used than anything. If more apps had built-in support for it then you could tweet without even trying :) I am still getting used to that word...
Well what's wrong with email? If you need something a bit more realtime, then there's IM. Or if you need to truly "broadcast" there's IRC. Exactly what problem does Twatter really solve? Other than serve as a yet-another-implementation to an already solved problem. Hell if you think about it, it's just a blog that a whole bunch of people can subscribe to via an RSS feed that gets updated in real time.

If only those laws were inforced. I can't tell you how many times I've see idiots in their SUVs driving around oblivious to traffic while blabbing on a cell phone. Makes me wish for a light saber.

Gimmie a .30 cal machine gun. I want standoff range when blasting the idiots off the road.

Might be a very simple implementation as a disconnected message buss. Looks like a fairly simple API and you could send and receive messages between apps with nothing more than HTTP access and no need to set up any XML config files for that WFC stuff :) Its a wonder that no one has used it as part of an exploit yet.. Just imagine... a tweet that you could watch that delivers logged user-names and passwords or credit card numbers in near real time to anyone :(

Think of it as an RSS reader for 1-liners. Messages are capped at 160 characters I believe. "Hey I just got a CP MVP award!" "Saw Tropical Thunder last night and it rocked!" "ASP.NET MVC final has been released see http://blah for details" "Santa is a lie!"
