That is both humans as well as companies (e.g. software companies) and I even follow a local news channel to keep on top of headlines (although the news channel does not seem to have things all figured out yet). My guess is that Darrenger (sp?) was trying to push a few buttons, because of who he is (i.e. morning show guy, lets get the phones ringing) and/or he has experienced a SpamAlot user or two. I agree that for local friends, you dont just use Twitter, but it is still a useful tool. But, as Steve said, Darrenger's view of Twitter is really narrow. Twitter gives you access to interesting people and things all over the world. Its a great tool and its great to feel some connection with a few different people.
