I am not even sure if Twitter is that mainstream. However, its mainstream as far as businesses (customer service, deals/coupons, etc.), celebrities (one-way traffic) is concerned. I still don't see many of my friends even care to be on Twitter, because from a social conversation pt of view, there is no conversation really.

On a lighter note, that's 5.7m per character!

If the president mentions it at a news conference as a way to reach Congresspeople I would say it is pretty mainstream

On another note, how come Mercury News got the scoop even before TechCrunch, GigaOm, VentureBeat reported this?
