Freedom of speech is the freedom to offend. If don't like it, go where freedom is dead.
I find Twitter to be utterly inane, worse than social networking. However, a growing number of people are relying upon Twitter for site updates. Used this way, it could be considered an ignorant man's RSS. To this end, TuscanyCircle now has a way to interface to your Twitter account. When you create a new post (not comments), your Twitter account can be updated to include your post's title and URL.
Just edit your account settings here on TuscanyCircle, and you'll see the Twitter configuration options. Yes, this means the Twitter interface is user-specific. Your own Twitter account is updated with your blog posts. (There is no TuscanyCircle-wide tweeting. See here.)
By the way, the "Share" button below posts already supports Twitter if you like to tweet your favorite posts.

That sorta puts a new twist on the expression, "A little bird told me."
Site-wide Twitter
Everyone (but me) still has his own Twitter interface (edit your account), if you want to use it to announce your own blogs.
My twitter account (tuscanycircle) will now display all new articles, though, not just my own. This means TC has site-wide tweets now.
Comments, too.

Twitter
I found it interesting that the Iranian government has shut down every internet-based social networking site – mySpace, Facebook, etc – to prevent news of the uprising from getting out. However, they forgot about Twitter and a lot of good, real-time information is getting out to the world through tweets…so it has some redeeming value. Maybe the famous quote should now say, “The revolution will be tweeted.â€
