Twitter connects everyday people to others they normally would never have contact with. Celebrities, for example, or high profile folks in general, you would have to go through a fan club or agent, through publicists, etc before you could even think of communicating to someone. A few days ago, I took 10 seconds to fire off a question to John Carmack of iD Software, who basically INVENTED PC gaming, over Twitter. This guy is solely responsible for gaming today. He created Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, and Quake (not to mention causing me to log hours and hours of gametime):

John Carmack, the legendary godfather of gaming answered my question from Twitter. I guess I ought to put Doom on my iPhone now, or at least die happy.
