The Twitter Generation

So Twitter is pretty much everywhere! Even my gran is asking how she can 'twit' (cue hasty education in Twitter terms to make sure she doesn't start insulting random people by asking them to 'Twit her')

The likes of Stephen Fry and Jonathan Ross have jumped on an already 'Speed Racer' style bandwagon and have added to the attraction of what, as someone pointed out last night, is a very basic form of social media.\

The question is - how has something that basic, letting you comment using no more that 140 characters, caught on? How does the team of 20 or so employees manage the demands? Also, where does it go from here? How do you make money from it? And, more importantly, who the hell does Twitter's PR??!?
