Twitter for social change
i can see some signs that the twitter debate is moving beyond the cappucino-digerati and in to the world of social movements.
andy carvin's done a good post at Can Twitter Save Lives? and i've focussed more on field use in africa in Urgent Action IM Bots and Twitter for Darfur.
And i just heard today from a friend that social campaigning / subversive use of twitter was discussed over the w/end at Barcamp Bangalore
If anyone has any other ideas / examples then please leave a comment or contact me.

Watching for a few minutes, you can see where most of the traffic is coming from as the globe spins back and forth between Japan and the US coastlines.
