Do you Twitter?

Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. This is taking off in some churches and ministries. Donald Miller and Leonard Sweet post multiple posts or "tweets" a day. I have been on for just a couple of months and have seen first hand how this stands apart from sites like Facebook or MySpace. So the question is: do you Twitter? And if you do- what do you like about it that makes it different? Do you see creative ways to use it for ministry?
