Twitter is useful primarily for short-attention-span quick-breaking stuff. It reminds me somewhat of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) except you can't kick people out.
The hashtag concept of Twitter is clever -- no one has used the hashtag #swlfest yet, so one could use that in Twitter posts and keep a search box open for that hashtag. Your comment regarding the universes of friends on Facebook and how they merge together is interesting...I posted some photos of the snow last week and got comments back from SWL friends, friends from my high school, friends from church, and family members.
