The app contains a good subset of features that should take care of about 80% of what you&#8217;d normally see on the main website, such as setting privacy settings, viewing your photostream, contacts, sets and tags.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img src="http://www.secretoptimist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/twitter-bird-2-150x150.png" alt="twitter-bird-2" title="twitter-bird-2" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-89" />It seems like in the past few weeks <a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a> is everywhere. The local newspaper <a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/digital-life/Twitter+away+someone+listening/1238927/story.html">covered it</a>. Online media sites and businesses are suddenly offering Twitter feeds in lieu of e-mail alerts. 3 people I know have signed up for it in the last week.</p>
<p>What gives? At its very heart Twitter allows you to let the your friends know what you&#8217;re doing, in 140 characters or less. The beauty of Twitter is that it allows you to follow and participate multiple conversation threads with you and your friends, organized as a simple list of &#8220;tweets&#8221;. You don&#8217;t have to send a text message to each and every one of your friends, you can just send out a &#8220;tweet&#8221; and your friends will know what&#8217;s going on.</p>
<p>But what I think allowed Twitter to really take off in the past few months is the fact that people are finding other uses for it. People are using it to report the <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/twitter/4269765/New-York-plane-crash-Twitter-breaks-the-news-again.html">news as it occurs</a> and to <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/06/05/twitter.maree/index.html">mobilize groups of people into action</a>. Businesses and media outlets are realizing they can reach more people on their cell phones and tailor their content into bite-sized chunks, perfect for those on the go.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see what the future will hold with Twitter. Will it have the same staying power as Facebook, who recently <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10156661-36.html?tag=mncol">celebrated their 5th anniversary</a>?</p>
