This amusing flow of Twitter messages popped up last Saturday evening, just as my favorite international cricket team, Australia, was wrapping up its third consecutive Cricket World Cup championship with its finals victory over Sri Lanka:

JaffeJuice - I’m a South African watching australia v Sri Lanka in West Indies from British Airways Lounge at JFK en route to Sydney, Australia - surreal [06:24 PM April 28, 2007]

Bryper - @Jaffe: I’m a Yank following Australia v Sri Lanka in the West Indies from my living room, about to go out to dinner with my Kenyan wife. [06:27 PM April 28, 2007]

DougH - I’m a yank watching the Yankees/Sox, a filipino and French/Tunisian just left my house– off to get my son from the Chinese neighbors bday.. [06:29 PM April 28, 2007]

jackhodgson - i’m a wasp, watching the redsox on a laptop assembled in china, and thinking about italian food for dinner. [06:32 PM April 28, 2007]

Twitter’s not just a series of one-off, dead-end messages. It’s a conversation, too.
