Inner Twitter
What is it? - Inner Twitter asks what is in front of you? In answering you reconnect to your original happiness because to answer you must stop during your ordinary activities and turn your attention to immediate reality. Stopping releases the tension that builds up as you rush through the day. The effect of simply stopping can be profound.
How does it work? - A chime message is sent using Twitter (or Jaiku) at selected time intervals. When you receive the chime stop. Listen. Pay attention to your breathing. Pay attention to what is before you. Really look at what is in front of you. Forget yourself and become whatever resonates, like stillness, peace or beauty.
How do you sign up? - Become a follower of one of these Twitter (or Jaiku) users: mindful15, mindful1PerHour, mindful1PerDay. Then become a follower of user mindful. A chime is automatically sent every 15 minutes, randomly once an hour, or randomly once a day, depending on which user you follow.

Remember the milk
Remember the Milk is a To Do list and manager which is now integrated with Twitter. Here is how to use it (from their web page)
"Getting started
If you're not already using Twitter, you'll need to sign up for an account. You'll also need to add rtm as your friend on Twitter (either by clicking the 'add' link on rtm's profile page, or sending the message 'follow rtm' to Twitter). Then, complete the quick and easy set up process in the box on the above right.
Interacting via direct messages
You can interact with Remember The Milk via direct messages on Twitter. To add a task to your account, just send your rtm friend a direct message with the name of the task. You can also send one of the commands listed below to do more with your tasks.
If you're sending a message to Twitter via SMS or IM or the web update box, remember to add d rtm before your task name or command to indicate that it's a direct message. For example:
d rtm pick up the milk
d rtm !complete call jimmy
(If you're sending the message through the direct message web page on Twitter, you can leave off the d rtm part.)

You can direct message the following commands to rtm. You may receive a confirmation or info back via a return direct message.
