Twittering? or Tweet?

Twitter is starting to catch on.  Twitter is like a status update to people you know.  I was first inspired to create a Twitter account when NPR utilized it to have people report their status in the voting lines.  Once you create an account, you go look for your friends or colleagues.  In my case I keep up with the latest and greatest from the various headliner speakers at my educational technology conferences.  They are traveling the country and in some cases--the globe, and there is always new information to report.  Some teachers or professors are twittering their homework assignments.

Very plainly put--it is a communication tool.  If you could round robin call 20, 30, 40 people you knew--what would you say?
