I signed up for a Twitter account over a year ago but seldom used it, mostly because I had plenty going on and I was concerned about it becoming a distraction. One of my knowledge management professors asked the class to sign up and use Twitter for the term so that we can evaluate it as a tool for sharing information and knowledge. I took the challenge, although I have only seen a few folks in my cohort using it.
So far, the experiment has been a good one and I am finding new and innovative ways to embed Twitter into my PKM systems. It will definitely be a part of my PKM tool kit.
While Twitter is great, I quickly outgrew the Twitter web interface - too inefficient for me. My first thought was to find or create something in Lotus Notes, perhaps even to add to eProductivity. I decided to see what was out there first. I decided to try TweetDeck. I've posted a screen shot and a few comments on the Notes On Productivity Blog:
Is TweetDeck Twittering over the Twop?

If you are on Notes version 8 or later, you might want to look at TwitNotes { Link }
