Several protocols have already emerged on Twitter. For
example, if I
wanted to respond to you directly (knowing my entire friends
list will
see it), I would preface the message with Jamie.

Location is the point of Twitter. The question, "What
am I doing right
now?" is used extensively for organizing friends to
meet up, hence its
popularity at SxSW where after seminar meetups are the norm.
Lidfehacks ran a great article on uses for Twitter:
