I've noticed a lot of folks using Twitter. It's an interesting model of communicating between people and groups of people. The big thing that I've noticed is that it gets overwhelmed easily and goes down as a result. This of course leads to lots of unhappy people that are trying to twitter away with their friends.
What I find curios is that twitter hasn't attempted to build, or transitioned to, the XMPP infrastructure. The two technologies are very similar and XMPP is a known scalable platform that should be able to handle the loads that seem to be bringing down Twitter these days.
