If so, I'm @papajohn. :)

I just use my Twitter account to lurk and listen to other people since I don't have anything interesting to say. Although with a Twitter client like Twhirl, I sometimes use it as a less obtrusive form of instant messaging.

man2toe,
Well, it enables more modes of communication -- via cell phone, etc. -- than the ChinesePod site currently does. It's also terrific for learning -- I follow several Chinese friends and their friends, and get to "eavesdrop" on their conversations. I pick up things from them all the time. Honestly, though, I'm not really sure, but I'm curious to see if anything comes of it.

I found the Cpod one: http://twitter.com/chinesepod
Just wondering, is a user of Twitter, a Twit? ;)
