In part this was due to the design of the Tweetie iPhone app which is a great example of encouraging exploratory behaviour - Tweeties UI transitions (horizontal wipe) emphasize progress and makes it easy to access a users followers without disrupting the user flow. So off I went tapping from a user to their followers and within minutes had crossed continents and socio-economic boundaries into sub cultures and back again.

Here’s some of the profiles I stumbled upon. The way this space is used to herald a users presence makes a pretty good exercise in communication and copywriting. How do you describe yourself in fewer than 160 chars? What are you trying to say and who are you saying it to?
