Are you simply infatuated with updating your status every other minute? Or perhaps, looking for a new way to market a new idea/product/space?

Introducing, Twitter - What are you doing?

As the site reveals, Twitter is "a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?"

It comes out of the idea that "basic updates are meaningful to family members, friends, or colleagues—especially when they’re timely."

(I think these ideas are funny)
* Eating soup? Research shows that moms want to know.
* Running late to a meeting? Your co–workers might find that useful.
* Partying? Your friends may want to join you.

Twitter allows you to control how much or how little you want to know what others are doing, or what you're doing--for that matter. I've just used it for a little bit, so I haven't customized hardly anything or posted that many Twitters, but it seems pretty cool. It also seems useful in atypical ways, including as a marketing tool, flash mob tool, and means for information to be put on quickly in times of emergency.
