Meet Brizzly, My New Twitter Client
Since I've installed it, I nearly never check my Myspace of Facebook profiles, cause I'm sick of them both. I get all the info I need without really logging in. If there's something surprisingly interesting, only then I will visit those sites.
Add an idea and see if it gets any traction.
As far as finding Jake on Twitter goes, I used Matt King's Twitterwhere app. It lets you listen in on a particular geographic region of Twitter folk. While it doesn't provide the topical filtering that some of the other commenters here are requesting, I've found it a valuable place to start.
The topic-by-location request is one that I hear quite often. There are tools like Twitterverse which provide topics globally, by popularity, and tools like Twitterwhere. But I have yet to find a combo of the two.
I'm sure someone could build it off the Twitter api. Unfortunately, that someone is not me.
Jeremiah, a Twitter fiend, has a list of ways he uses Twitter.

I have been working on a personal project (a game) developed with RoR, including social features (stay tuned, it will be released as beta before end of december '07): GMap, twitter , friendship, messaging, chatting are in the plan.
