I love twitter

(most of the time)
Even when they're experiencing a technical issue they can be fun. I haven't been involved in any other site that made outages a neat thing.

Don't get me wrong - outages aren't good when you're talking about a social network and it would be nice if they weren't necessary - but why not have fun while you're at it?

I've heard some neat twitter ideas lately, many from Cnet Gadgettes or Buzz Out Loud podcasts. The best one is a twitter novel. I searched for people currently doing twitter novels and found a small number. Some approaching it like mini, 140 character, novellas and other like each entry is one part of a much larger novel. Seems that there are people in China writing novels through phone texting as well. Is this the new way to communicate? Short and sweet? I wish my clients would take that approach when communicating with me!
