Design - Why @ Is Held in Such High Design Esteem - NYTimes.com

Here's a good example of how Twitter fits into my daily routine - and why I like it so much.

While browsing through my Twitter feed this morning, I came across this note from Dave Winer:

Design - Why @ Is Held in Such High Design Esteem. http://r2.ly/yaf6

I see the @ sign every day but I've never thought of it as a design element. So I followed the link in his Tweet.

And lo and behold, there's a lot of story there - something I probably wouldn't have come across any other way.

I like that.
