I would imagine that once you get a certain volume it increases the likelihood of “chance encounters” – eg “am at the Portal conference” and others in your network who are also there know to find you.

I think the most powerful use is to quickly poll your own “Wisdom of Crowds” – almost like a public version of IBM’s skilltap (see http://www.yourdonreport.com/index.php/2008/03/09/the-awesomeness-of-twitter/)

For an old guy, I try and keep up with the times, but I’m struggling to see the value of Twitter ? I can see the logic behind location awareness in Sametime, so am I correct in assuming that Twitter “merely” extends this?
