I grant that twitter could be useful for developing skill with microfiction. It enforces a hard character limit, and the "having a log of your entries" feature would serve a useful purpose.
You might actually find an account for that purpose helpful in developing your chops as a fiction writer, but that's not something I'm in the market for right now.
Okay, we have two specialized functions for twitter so far. God, I love on line discussions....
My monkeylimit friend also notes that when he posted a frustrated note about a Comcast issue on Twitter... he got contacted by a Comcast representative scanning the Twitter feeds for references, and thus was able to deal with the problem faster.
Which I find nearly as creepy as I do cool, but it's interesting to see the different ways people approach the service.
Wonder if Verizon scans twitter? I've wanted them to do something about my damned land line for ages... Worth a try, I suppose.
For my part, I'm following twitters of the three major Presidential candidates, in the hopes of being able to carve out enough attention to get news on them in 140-character soundbites. We'll see how that works.
