I only use Twitter to integrate with beanstalkapps.com - this way my clients can see my SVN commits in real-time (since I'm cheap and don't pay for them to have an account to the beanstalkapps.com backend).

I don't get it. There is no real need for it. I also don't see how you could easily monetize it.

It's description and the inane posts I originally read made me think the same thing!

But, after much use it's a great piece of technology. It allows you to survey a crowd, use it for emergency purposes (San Diego Fire Dept did just this), learn about what your friends are reading/sharing, where they are going for the evening, how they feel, etc...

" ... I'm starting to love using Twitter. There is something liberating about the constraints ... " I've used twitter from Nov2006. Some of the constraints I don't like: - how they handle urls [0] - how they handle people who you like but talk to much [1] The rest is pretty good. Not too much info, uptime ok (well when I use it) and api is simple & works ~ http://twitter.com/bootload [0] I don't know a good solution…

I agree.

They should get the shortest domain names possible. For tiny utls. For the web view. they should just have a single character as a link, like a #.

iv.an is available for 450 euro! Is u.rl available?

I'd like parallel streams, with people that update too much pushed to the sidelines.

http://twitter.com/danielha holler @ me. Also subscribe to the RSS of your company name (or keyword of choice) at http://terraminds.com/twitter . My favorite Kirigins have Tipjoy on that badboy.

Hell yah. Terraminds twitter search is actually pretty useful. Searching for your company name is particularly valuable. Go tip 'em.

You can just implement a client that does that. No need to wish, there's an api, it's use is encouraged, go hack! http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/web/...
