While quickly perusing Tweets (follow me here!), I found two very interesting things about Twitter. One is really interesting and intriguing and one is really quite pathetic (but very funny).
First, the good and intriguing: @JoelFightsBack, according to recent Tweets, is looking for programmers and web designers to help with a new Lawyering 2.0 project. This project would have Internet users vote/comment on letters that Havard Law students have written to the DOJ. If you’re interested in learning more, message @JoelFightsBack on Twitter or e-mail joelfightsback@gmail.com. And let me know what you find out. 
(For those who don’t know, @JoelFightsBack is maintained by Prof. Charles Nesson and the Harvard Law students representing Joel Tenenbaum against the RIAA.)
And now for the pathetic but REALLY funny: A Congressional trip to Iraq was being kept secret for security reasons until a Twitter-happy Congressman tweeted about landing in Iraq and having Blackberry coverage. Oops. Read the full story here.
