Best Use of Twitter Yet
This site StatTweets is running hundreds of different twitter accounts, all focused on a single sports team. So for example the BengalsStats twitter feed contains scores of games, a few articles about the teams, etc. You probably get a few tweets a day.
Previously, on my G1 I had been using a pretty lame NFL scores application that kept forgetting my favorite-teams settings because it apparently didn't understand the Android save-and-restore-state framework. I was also using Twidroid for Twitter access which is quite slow to update because they apparently don't understand the Android background-processes framework. And now I can just use Twidroid. Hmm.
Probably more useful for things I follow more loosely like Duke basketball, prevent me from being caught off guard and having nothing to say about the Duke game I ignored a couple days ago.
Anyway, I'm excited to see specific services being provided over twitter. They have a list of the team feeds they offer here.
And to be honest this is only the second-best use of twitter - my favorite so far was the election night live search feed for [Obama OR McCain].
