Twitter is the latest thing in social networks and attention economy.

You can publish your status (what are you doing), share that with the world and follow "twitters" from you friends. Add to this "soup" RSS feeds and support for IM and mobile phone texts, and you get a pretty addictive thing. "Twitters" soon start to form conversation threads turning into a way of communication.

One more thing: you are limited to 140 chars. Having to keep within this limit adds a different feel to it. Probably that's your text messages for the web, for those who do not spend all of their time sending mobile phone texts.

Here's my Twitter: CaptSolo.

Trying it out now. First read about it at "How can we capitalise on Twitter’s addictiveness?" by Tom Raftery. Will write more when I get a feel of it.

Update 1: "All of a Twitter" - an interesting article by Ian Delaney.

Update 2: Twitter channel, which I added to blog's sidebar, shows up empty for me. The other Twitter badge/widget which is a part of this blog post shows up ok. Do you also experience the same problem?
