I realised when porting that blog entry over that, the web service Twitter did not exist in March of 2005 and did not actually launch until a year later.
Perhaps I do have invisible friends out there who owe me some royalties, although I don't think twitter was a word I created as the word twit has been around forever and it really is not something that could be trademarked, well, it is, I mean they did it didn't they?
While typing this, I realise how much we misuse the ascii character set nowadays....
