Ok, more twitter articles in the mainstream press, now from C|Net

Even our future president (G-d! I'd love to be able to aggregate--and I bet
there is a tool to do it--all those tweets that start, "When Obama is
President ...") is on Twitter.

The article is about how Twitter will go mainstream as we move generationaly
away from email and towards SMS.

User manual workflow documentation?

Not sure if this is totally relevant to the list, but I would like
some advice on writing a software user manual.
The software we have developed is comparatively easy, but I still
need to document some of the basic
work flows. Rather than typing "next, click and hold the button and
drag to the desired.." I would like
a better, more clear solution. Can anyone point me in the direction
of some well designed user
manuals that have clear work flow documentation.

In addition we are thinking of including a printed poster style quick
start guide.
