Welcome back!
More and more companies are using Twitter as an infrastructure to built new services on, most focussed on marketing related issues.
The latest one I stumbled upon is The Symbian Foundation’s Screen Saver that seems to pull in mentions of the word “symbian” from twitter and displays them on users screens.
I can think of soooo many ways how this could backfire – I guess being a security consultant just makes me think in weird ways sometimes ;)

Actually it is a cool idea :-) it reminds me a bit of the digg-screensaver.
