On twitter it's often possible to talk to people who would otherwise be inaccessible to you (e.g. the CEO of Zappos). Of course as message volume increases on twitter it becomes increasingly difficult to be 'heard' over the noise of those around you. There are already some tools appearing for filtering and tracking conversations on twitter, but I wonder how people who follow thousands of others are going to deal with large message volume. The upside is with only 140 chars per message it's easier to wade through a list of twitters than an email inbox... Excellent point, Steve.

Also fun to meet new people through "friends of friends". That's hard to do with email or even blogs, which don't immediately reveal who is following whom.
