Say you have a dicey medical exam today and the whole family
wants to know about the results. A few tweets as things
progress and everybody (your family members) knows what's
happening.

O.K. That would work -- if they knew about the twitter account
to start with. Remember -- all of my siblings are now old farts, and
I'm the techno-geek of the family. :-)

Same problem here, the other parties don't even have a
computer...

You're at a job site and you don't have the proper part on
your truck. One tweet alerts all fellow coworkers about what
you need and where you are located. Who ever has it and is
close by can respond...

Hmmm ... about all these workers visiting twitter all day. Not
sure about that. (Unless there is a way to set it up to call all their
cell phones when you tweet.)

There is a cell phone interface/application for it I
understand. I don't know how it works though, no cell phone
to play with and I don't know anyone with a cell geeky
enough to try it.

The cell phone part (depending upon how it works) is the
only practical side to it I can see. It (Twitter) could
create a nice bridge between the two very different worlds
(computer to cell phone).
