Twittering nitwits forecast earthquake...

in southern California:  Thursday's Predicted Earthquake Downgraded to Hoax.  The USGS responded appropriately with a tweet of its own: 

"Seeing many tweets on quake prediction. Folks, let's set the record straight...no one can predict quakes...no one http://go.usa.gov/xA9."

Does anybody twitter...

or tweet? It seems to be an increasingly popular convergence of social networking and micro-blogging. If you read this blog, and engage in "twittering" or "tweeting," please leave a comment about your experience.

Important question: why would/should I be interested?
