Yep! Also, a good entry point to Jitter (Jabber?) is Tracy's j-coders list:

The bigger issue I see with #jlang is that it's rarely used, relative to the
density of tweets about J. Character space is very dear on Twitter (140
chars max per post), and 6 chars is no small cost.

PS: One fun game is to try to post a coherent message in _exactly_ 140
characters (especially if it's properly punctuated & without nonstandard
abbreviations; i.e. without "cheating"). It can be a creative process. As
far as constrained writing goes, it's not exactly an achievement on par with
composing a haiku, but it can be gratifying :)
