No it is kind of like instant messaging, but you subscribe to the person who sends out their messages. Also, there is a strict character limit, so it is pretty much limited to a short sentence.
A lot of people sign up for their favourite blogger, or actor, and then when that person "Twits" something like "I farted" everyone who subscribed finds out. It seems to be a big deal to have more people subscribe to you, almost like webpage visits.
I read there is a few police departments in Arizona who are using it to send out traffic alerts.
