I still don't get twitter. But it seems like it's turning into something large public entities have to have a presence on. And the character limitation keeps it from turning to a complicated public image/branding/market problem which could keep companies from participating.
But I'm still not sure what the value for John Q. Public is in twittering or tweeting or whatever.

Damn you, Google ping!

The submitted article suggests the failure is an AT&T failure.
Apparently those poor packets were on a slow boat from China: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/this-is-your-pilot-sp...
Here's the power: Google and ATT both addressed the problems and did so succinctly, quickly, in the same place, and in an easy-to-understand manner. Superb.
