"Back in the days", highly active distributed offices used, as an improvement on telegraph lines, (read that "Railroad stations" or "Associated Press offices") they had "order wires" where some were on audio and some on teletypes and it was like the current Nextel walkie-talkie where, if anyone talked with an outburst like: "...anyone got a thingamajig available?", then everyone would hear immediately.
You can set up Twitter like that and have the message delivered to others' cell by SMS or e-mail, etc., and it doesn't require paying Nextel and it's ad-hoc and flexible and can be set up in a minute and you can control who takes part. Most use is social fun but it has the value for organizing a distributed group efficiently, as well, and the nice part is that you don't have to write down what the loudspeaker blurts out to check the part number or rip a 6" sheet off the teletype and stuff it in your pocket.
