Becky here. As some of you know, I’m still torn on Twitter. I’m of the camp, “who has that kind of time, and why is this better than sending a text/email/phone call to the person I want to talk to”. However, I do realize that a TON of people seem to think this is the coolest thing out there. So I’m trying to understand that. In that spirit, I wanted to note that several of the talks I’ve sat in on here at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco have had a moderator, logged in to Twitter at the podium and taking queues from the twitter community on where to move the conversation next. That’s pretty cool.
Other examples of how twitter can be used in cool ways?

I’m with you re being “torn on Twitter” but came across some interesting applications of it whilst nosing around — poetry, “Great works of fiction in 140 characters or less,” and keeping track of Barack Obama (or someone pretending to be B.Obama).
How about a hip, progressive TV station interacting in a (real 2-way) conversation with it’s viewers.
