 Yeah.  Of course I always thought that IRC was a good fit for this
 purpose.  Virus writers seem to think so.  I wonder how Twitter would
 deal with viruses and worms using Twitter and a command and control
 communications mechanism.
 
 People who love Twitter are also people who SMS a lot it seems.  Twitter
 probably is a natural evolution of SMS, melding the IRC idea with
 ridiculously short, hard-to-read, cryptic, lol-speak, messages.  I think
 the Japanese just might be on to something as no one over there uses
 SMS.  It's all e-mail to them.  Granted the scourge of abbreviated words
 and lol-speak is just as bad there.   Sigh.

lol-speak originated on IRC.  (Or probably even earlier on the original
bitnet relay chat.)

 Given the subject line -- my first thought was Depends on the

I see that everybody is politically correctly maintaining the 
three t twitt spelling, instead of yielding to the obvious
temptation to drop the last one.

Dennis, your reference to density comes perilously close...
