Overall, Twitter is best thought of as a message queuing/routing system built on top of a cache/repository platform.

There's an emerging degree of swarming, coordination, just in time planning, that makes a cohesive group appear to exist out of a series of autonomous individuals.

There is a kind of real time responsiveness not present with services such as email, the telephone, the classifieds or even newspapers and television mass media.
