Welcome to the Twitter-fan wiki!

 

Since the Twitter folks haven't put up a wiki yet, it seemed like a good idea to get one going out of the community.

 

Lately there's been a bunch of scripts and other cool ideas pushed forward and it's finally time that we had a place to bring them all together.

 

The wiki password is tweety.

 

What is Twitter?

 

Twitter is a way of life. It's living with a publicity policy. It's friends, Romans and country people the world over engaged in timely snippet conversations that fit into 140 character chunks.

 

Go sign up and see what this is all about.
