An unusual scientific breakthrough was brought about by the popular micro blogging platform known as 'twitter'.
Adam Wilson posted two messages on Twitter on April 15. The first one, "GO BADGERS," might have been sent by any University of Wisconsin-Madison student cheering for the school team.
His second post, 20 minutes later, was a little more unusual: "SPELLING WITH MY BRAIN."
Wilson, a doctoral student in biomedical engineering, was confirming an announcement he had made two weeks earlier -- his lab had developed a way to post messages on Twitter using electrical impulses generated by thought.
Full story at CNN Mobile.
Simply amazing.

That is a new twitter app just around the corner. Maybe we will see 2 minutes ago from Tweetbrain
Who would have thought Twitter would have such an impact. There is more to "so called" social networking than meets the eye, I think.

Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around
Do not send me PMs with problems that should be posted in the forums. Keep it in the forums, so everyone benefits

Gives a whole new meaning to the term 'Bird Brain'. 
The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.

Who's actually going to use this, much less read their posts?
