Tim O’Reilly recently posted a great entry titled “Why I Love Twitter” which expounds graciously upon the service as a whole and it’s “coolness” as a means for “ambient intimacy”.

Ok. Go.
In addition, here’s a good list of other “business” perspectives surrounding the use of Twitter. Starts off with some “basics” and then progresses further.
Check the links out, get a good feel, pass the love on, and then hope for adoption.
