Twitter is an ongoing party where you select all the guests, and then interact - like a good host.

Coincidentally, I ran into a discussion about "What is Twitter?" with @talkabout, @dieGoerelebt et al. and I had this silly idea of using the Twitter search to create Twitter oracle that would give you the answers. Long story short: Follow @ThatsTwit or visit http://is.gd/iQtv to see the more or less philosophical results. ;)
