Original Jack Dorsey sketch , original idea started in 2000. One night in July of that year I had an idea to make a more "live" Live Journal. Real-time, up-to-date, from the road. Akin to updating your AIM status from wherever you are, and sharing it.

Nov'2007 most used apps gives sense of usage of SMS/Instant Messaging.
how/why do people use it
what they write
ambient status messages: original intent (see Jack Dorsey quote above)
this is where MobIle comes in
Link Blog (plus promote own blog posts)
disposable [Live Blog], with possibility of conversation (during debates, big conference speeches)
LazyWeb requests (mainly for info/resources, not for someone to build something)
other disposable Micro Blog, [Brain Fart]-s
art: haiku/poetry, Game Playing with constraints (e.g. Paul Ford 6-word notes)
replies to other tweets: Live Chat
what/who/why they read
keep fuzzy sense of what their Social Network is up to on personal level
esp those who don't have blogs? I suspect vast majority of TwittEr users, for now, have blogs.
hear important news faster than even Blogo Sphere
Too important to be controlled by 1 company? Possibility of Open Twitter?
