One of the best examples of using Twitter is reaching out to journalists. The immediacy is impressive and unprecedented. Journalists who Twitter (yes, it’s now a noun and a verb like Google) are much more likely to be tech savvy and receptive to quick tips relevant to their audience and areas of expertise.
Public relations consultant Harry Hoover has started a wiki with a growing list of Twittering (also an adjective!) journalists.

James Sack, carbonhouse, principal and creative director of carbonhouse, is a featured artist at Artevation: A Celebration of History Through Art, which runs through May 30 in Charlotte. The show is at The Queen’s Gallery & Art Center, 1212 The Plaza. An opening event for the show will be held May 9 from 7-9 pm.
Artevation is a show of works depicting historic places and properties in Charlotte. The show is a tribute to the late Warren Burgess, an influential city planner, urban designer and talented artist who worked many years for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission and the Town of Davidson. Artevation will showcase many of Burgess’ architectural drawings, as well as the work of the following local artists whose work depicts Charlotte’s architecture and history through photography, fabric art, paintings, woodcuts, illustrations, and more:
“When I was asked to participate in Artevation I jumped at the chance—especially with the tribute to Warren Burgess,” Sack said. “I had the pleasure of working with Warren for a number of years while I was vice president of the Historic North Charlotte Neighborhood Association. His sketches on the NoDa area are fantastic and were an inspiration for my NoDa series of wood block prints. Warren was a true visionary for Charlotte, and his mark on Charlotte’s fabric is a constant reminder of his work. I look forward to this show.”

Charles Cooper at CNET has a great post about Twitter, their recent services glitches and comparisons to the heyday of AOL, when it was all the rage.
Twitter is definitely taking off like a rocket ship lately, and the real question is where the ship is headed and how sustainable it is, after the novelty of Tweet’ing your friends from the mall wears off. Is it a viable business tool, assuming they can work out the delivery kinks? Most importantly, how will they make money (charging for enhanced services? mining and selling data?)?
A collection of observations and interpretations, inspired the timeless tale of the blindmen and the elephant.
