Nice post Jake. I was part of Chinposin last week as well of SuperHero this week. Like you, I find that Twitter allows me to share personal information with my "Twitter Friends."
I know that is hard for people to understand the Twitter addiction, but last week I had PHONE conversations about work related projects with Dennis Howlett, Sam Lawrence and Christine Lu -- contacts I made via Twitter. (looks like we follow the same people)
Some co-workers and family members think I'm crazy as I update my status, but Twitter has become an important tool for my team.
Visit my Twitter page and see my casual Friday Hawaiian shirt in two weeks: http://twitter.com/OracleJulio and while you read my updates, I will share with you some special projects from Oracle.

@OracleJulio: Twitter is a conversation, more so than IM/chat and blogs/comments. FriendFeed is similar, partly because of a huge overlap with Twitter.
So, it's easy to engage someone you don't know personally and extend relationships with people you've met in person.
You follow and are followed by so many people, there's bound to be a lot of overlap :)

Interviewer: Well, can you... blow up the world? Tick: Egad. I hope not. That's where I keep all my stuff.

Love The Tick!!
I've passed on the super-hero meme, mainly because I just switched away from Kim Possible, and don't feel like moving back. But I agree, it's a simple thing to help connect to your twitter friends, and not nearly the time-sink of FB's Ninja's vs Pirates.

@Gretchen: I'd forgotten your Kim Possible avatar. You're ahead of your time, a trendsetter.
