    Ben -

    I've been using Twitter for a while, though I admit my updates are pretty spotty.

    Right now, I think the business benefit is mainly in networking. To a lesser degree, it's another in a long line of cutting-edge toys, and it shows who's quicker to adopt new technologies, and who's not.
