Random idea, but wouldn't a streaming API for DMs allow IM style clients to be implemented on top of the twitter platform? I know I use DMs instead of MSN now, the delay is a bit of a pain but being able to move the conversation from public to private is great, plus sometimes you do want delayed IM conversations (for example, when travelling) ;)
