OK I used to HATE Twitter, but its actually really cool. I heard on the news about the situation in Iran with the election and the protesters, bombings, scary crap like that. So the gov there cut the phone lines, but people were still able to twitter and share info on what gatherings were at risk and where to go to stay away from all the madness. Its kinda crazy if you step back and think about technology and how far its come...but I digress...
