Since learning of Twitter, I've wondered the practical application of it. I have intentionally used it for a while to publish personal stuff like "sipping on coffee as I blow through some emails" or "listening to jack johnson" and for following what my friends and colleagues are doing. But have yet to find practical ways to integrate naturally into a work flow.
Recently, several of the blogs I read linked to the articles outlining a its practical applications, here is one such article. And I found a good description of what twitter actually does thanks to the CommonCraft Show on youtube
But I am still working on how to integrate it naturally into work flow. My best guess is this - create twitter accounts for a couple of the web logs we use to keep the campus informed of computing news and workshop information and see how many "twits" start to follow. (Thanks to Richwalsky I found a tool that will take and rss feed and create twitter tweets.)
Do we want the same for technocool?
