Jackie Silver curled into the couch in her living room, her face bathed in the blue glow of her laptop.
She had logged on to Twitter and was scrolling through the list of her followers, who numbered about 9,500. Then she eavesdropped on the musing and schmoozing of some of the 4,000 people she follows.
You could almost say Silver, 50, a self-published author and former voice-over actor, has turned her life over to Twitter. This is where she finds friends. This is where she flirts with men. This is where she does business.
"I live in Twitterville," she said.
She started typing:
Ah, another Friday night on Twitter … what is this, like number 67? But who's counting! No place else I'd rather be!!!!

Twitter, the fastest-growing social networking site on the Internet, has many kinds of users. Some try it and never return (the "Twitter quitters"), some use it occasionally, and some use it often.
Then there are people like Silver.
