I have a friend who was pregnant, and at work we were all watching her IM status since she was updating it with baby messages. No updates in several days (she's offline), so I assume that she's in the hospital and that everything is fine. And it made me think, as a blogging mother, is there some other technology, other than IM status, to use to update all of your friends on your status instead? That answer seems obvious: Twitter! To reduce duplication, there's a script to update Twitter with your iChat status message. For a nice Mac application to read and post, there's Twitterrific. But using a Treo is the best way to send an update when you're in the car driving to the hospital, so there's TreoTwit (en). Or web toTwitter2Go for a small-screen-friendly site.
Of course, she's already done (I think), but it's amazing what you find!
