I learned the "leave" and "off" quickly as often times conversations go on between two or three people, etc... It is fun to watch, but my phone battery can't hold up!
Just as important, is for the Twitterererers to make sure to direct one way communications via the Direct Message where possible. Twitter only has this from the web interface right now but surely there is a command coming soon?!
Other things I would like to see....
1. Groups 2. (I second the choice for...) Zap :)
The experiment continues!

'Leave' just sounds so final, doesn't it? "Don't LEAVE ME!"

My cousin, a college student, told me there's a bar up by the Northwestern University campus, that actually broadcasts the last 100 public twitters on a projector screen. Talk about addicting.

I've been wondering why my twit's been going off. I only just realized that my daughters added my cell phone to her twitter network.
If I could make this work for business I just might try to figure out how to use it.

Yeh, the "D Username Message" thing is very handy (I love being able to text my sister in England for the cost of a national text message). I was wondering why people don't use it much, then I realised that I couldn't find it on the actual site anywhere (I found the command by recieving a direct message and reading the reply instructions on that). I hope more people will start using this and stop filling up my inbox with "@Soandso ..." updates. Just make sure that you are using their username (twitter.com/USERNAME) and not the name they use on their page.

Well, I'm one of those chatty chatters on twitter. Me and my friends there used to extend our twittering more than just "what am I doing now". but "what am I thinking of now?", "what am I telling dot dot dot now?"... etc.
we had one friend of ours complained, and then to me it didn't seem to make sense.. Well, we are friends and we'd like to have fun in all ways.. so, what's wrong withthat?!
YET, now, after my mobile got sms-s jam.. and I can't get a single twitter update, not even direct messeges (till now). I understood what you mean guys by "twitter is for what you are doing now only, not another IM"!
But seriously speaking, i didn't imagine Twitter to be that fun... So, OK, i learnt my lesson the hard way out.. :(

Bluelue, well, the first step is admitting you have a problem. ;)
I just think that people who don't use twitter on their phone don't understand. Lots of my friends seem to be turning it onto their phones lately, so they'll start to get it.
Also, glad to see that the guys from Twitter are listening (and have a sense of humor). They mentioned this story on their blog.

I am receiving the Direct Messages only on my mobile. Other updates are sent to my IM. It's a nice way to send SMS's to people you don't know - or don't care to share - their mobile phone numbers.

You can also set up Twitter to nudge you if you haven't updated in awhile, and you can also nudge other friends who haven't updated in awhile.

I don't get the newsletter Fraser, but I know they're listening. That's good.

that's ok, Rob. It's an oldie, but still gets read a lot.

Thanks for the great tip. I've never used Twitter before, probably will try it out one of these days. For now, I will just stick with MSN or Skype for my IM needs.

WHY DO I NEED TO BE UPDATED ABOUT YOUR LUNCH? I DON'T CARE. I'M FEELING TOO IN TOUCH. TOO PLUGGED IN. THEN YOU GET ALL THE TECH 'SAVVY' REALTORS JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON, UPDATING ME THAT THEY ARE PHOTOCOPYING. ARE YOU F'N KIDDING ME? WHO CARES? I'M IN MY 20'S, MAYBE THAT'S OLD, BUT I JUST KEEP SEEING STUPID SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES BECOMING ALL THE HYPE AND THEN ON TO THE NEXT ONE. I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S UP. FOR F SAKES, IT'S PATHETIC.

zap <username> ... very good one. I'd use this one. But the problem is to convince all your friends to goto the Twitter store, buy, ship and constantly wear the “Bluetooth Twitter Underwear Attachment”, or "Electric Shock Watch" ;-) ...personally I still don't really get Twitter... can't you just hang out with your friends in the Real world and have a beer? ...and "Twitter" naturally :-D
