Twitter.com
I just wrote a short paper on Twitter.com, the wildly popular "microblogging" service (11 pages, 1.9 MB download).In the paper, I look at the incredibly diverse ways that people are using Twitter, then tease out some common threads that run through all these User Experiences.
The whole is illustrated with pictures, quotations and hyperlinks. Enjoy.

excellent stuff E
Luke - great paper, thanks! Just wanted to check if you'd object to me taking a local copy of it to share with my team @ work - they're very puzzled by Twitter at the moment and think this might really help them. I would of course point them back to the original as well and attribute correctly. Thanks again! Jim
Jim - absolutely, feel free. :)
This is a mighty fine looking report sir. Nice one.
Great paper, top work, and one of the most readable and useful Twitter guides I've seen.
I'm honoured to have had a link included!
Great stuff...so difficult to sum up what twitter is but I think you have managed it. The next time somebody asks me what Twitter is I know where to point them
great paper, passed it on to boss
Great work explaining Twitter from the user experience perspective. I will share it with other Twitter explanations/tools that I use.
Great paper on Twitter in an easy to explain manner. I'm going to use this to help introduce others to Twitter. Thx!
What a really cool paper. might just leave a copy on the settee so sam can understand why i love it so much.
Love the presentation...and the content. Thanks so much.
Love the paper Luke, well done. Found the Twitter fan wiki particularly interesting. There's also a recently launched Tweeple Wiki for UK Media People. Check it out here, might be interesting to include in the PDF?

Twitter is all about bringing people together!

Thanks for your positive feedback, everyone. I'm glad the paper was informative and useful.
I came across the Doug Engelbart The Demo 1968. You can see it here http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8734787622017763097
