Do you tweet? How many tweeps do you have? When something good happens to you, do you suddenly exclaim, "woot"? If you're one of the six million people worldwide who use the social media service Twitter, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Twitter, a microblogging service, is suddenly the talk of the town. Senators and congressional representatives were tweeting (sending messages of up to 140 characters, including spaces) during President Obama's unofficial State of the Union speech. Some of the first reports from the scene of the U.S. Airways jet that landed safely in the Hudson River came from eyewitnesses tweeting what they'd seen. And almost all the anchors on MSNBC (and some from CNN) tweet daily. I've exchanged tweets with MSNBC's David Shuster (Twitter name Shuster1600) about the SBA.
