Twitter is NOT your run-of-the-mill Social Networking site. It appears to be the single, most powerful networking site on the net at moving breaking news and information among large numbers of people. Partly due to the fact that people are "logged in" (not really), and regularly paying attention, they have the opportunity, at any minute of any hour of the day, to type in what they are doing in a dialog box. Anyone "following" their movements, sees that post.
If they are visiting a news site, or reading a freshly-released story, the link may or may not be passed. News travels almost at the speed of light on Twitter. There are followers (those interested in what YOU are doing) and followed (those you are following). It's an extremely unique way to get to know people, and find out what they are involved in.
