I’ve been reflecting on the phenomenal interest in Twitter of late.  From Dell’s 40+ Twitter team to a Social Brand Index that lists the brands on the microblogging service du jour, it seems like there’s no escaping the Twitter addiction.  And this despite a recent decision to axe outgoing SMS updates to Twitter users in the UK.
