Twitterer

After a light week we present our new Web 2.0 title: Twitterer, a person who uses Twitter as a journalistic outlet or keep others informed about themselves (see Internet Famous).

Let's focus on the journalistic aspects of Twitter -- usually posting from political campaign speeches and giving constant updates like a Live Historian -- so what makes Twitter special? The restriction to 160 characters and the encouragement to post more often, so people know "What are you doing?" Sounds a little bit narcissist -- so maybe it's for people who think they are Internet famous?
