twitter may just be this years '8 track tape player' or the latest in a long line of internet 'fashion'... won't be long until advertising will probably make people flee to some other communication space ... in the meantime, would be dead simple for PerlMonks to take advantage of it.
Instead of using it as just a place to have a broadcast firehose ... why not something a bit more personal and engaging e.g. humans tweeting .. I sometimes think the analogy of commentator (as in sports) works with tweeting, e.g. would be interesting to get perspective of whats going on with PerlMonks right now ... I would also recommend following all the people who follow you.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
