"Are Tweets Literature? Rick Moody Thinks They Can Be" by Alexandra Alter for the Wall Street Journal on 11.30.2009.
"For the next three days, author Rick Moody will be delivering a new short story in 153 Tweets, in hourly increments."
I think this is a pretty interesting use of Twitter both for new media and for literary culture. I do wonder though, whether people will commit to the entire thread of tweets to read the whole story.

"Refining the Twitter Explosion" by Noam Cohen for the New York Times on 11.8.2009
Twitter gives a representation of the world, but with so much information available, it's hard to search for content and organize what is available. "Geolocation" will work with G.P.S. to determine the location of tweets and categorize accordingly.
