I think the name is one good thing about Twitter, one doesn't expect
any great enlightenment. I'd have thought there were better places to
find medical help or a date, or to get coding help actually.

Arranging rides though - I guess if you're on the move and can push a
message out to everyone you know asking for a lift, that is quite
handy. Twitter is not location based though is it? You would basically
be spamming everyone on the off-chance that someone reads your message
and happens to be in the right place at the right time?

Plazes and Jaiku sounds more specifically useful in terms of location
and time specific messaging, not sure what this sort of thing means in
terms of privacy and safety in the future though. Would you want your
location always known?
