If you were out with a girl and she started twittering about it in the middle, would that be a deal-breaker or a turn-on?

10 Ways Twitter Will Change Blog Design in 2009
In 2008 Twitter really hit the mainstream. In 2009 we can expect much more from the service. Here are 10 ways Twitter will change blog designs in the new year.
Rejaw is Not Just Another Twitter Clone
Rejaw is not YATC (Yet another Twitter Clone). Sure, it has some similarities but it’s really more of a hybrid of twitter, Plurk, and Meebo. It’s a micro-blogging service with a hint of chat. Here’s the quick and dirty rundown of its best features.
Rejaw melds microblogging with instant chat
No, we aren't going to let you take a break from checking out new social-status services; especially not when a new one is bringing something actually interesting to the table. Rejaw, just launched this week, describes itself as "a new way to chat with your friends, family, and coworkers." Combining short, Twitter-like messages with instant updates via custom push technology, Rejaw may have hit the sweet spot at the intersection of dead-simple, web-based microblogging and conversation.
TweetDeck
TweetDeck is an Adobe Air desktop application that is currently in public beta. It aims to evolve the existing functionality of Twitter by taking an abundance of information i.e twitter feeds, and breaking it down into more manageable bite sized pieces.
What is Microblogging? (And Where Do I Get Started?)
Microblogging refers to the posting of very short updates about oneself. It is in contrast to long-form blogging, where there are usually at least a few hundred words. Microblog posts usually involve a few hundred characters or less. Instead of posting a message on their regular blog, people who microblog use Web services designed to make microblogging very easy.
Twittering, Not Frittering: Professional Development in 140 Characters | Edutopia
As soon as the lunch bell rings at his elementary school in Medford, Oregon, teacher David Cosand takes a few minutes to scan his mobile phone screen for messages that have accumulated throughout the morning in his Twitter account. In a few well-chosen words, the people Cosand follows via this free online service share their latest news, resources, questions, and (sometimes) trivia about education, technology, and related topics.
Cosand became a Twitterer about a year ago, and he now considers Twitter one of his best sources of real-time professional development. "I'm able to get information and find opportunities I wouldn't have been able to gather on my own," he says.
Microblogging for EFL with Plurk
Well I never thought I'd say this, but I've become a fan of microblogging! I have to say that it's mainly because of Plurk. When I first saw Twitter some time back I couldn't really understand what all the fuss was about. I had a look at a few 'twitterers' sharing such information as what they had for lunch or that they were washing their hair and decided there are levels of detail at which information stops being informative - if you know what I mean.
