Twitter as a command-line

At Le Web 3, Ev Williams mentioned in his talk that Twitter can be thought of as a command-line. Twitter can be used as a device-independent, global command line that sits on top of a large user-base. This suggests several things for the future of applications that take advantage of Twitter: for example, you could create a service that takes in commands, via Twitter, from various input devices. For a business, there is a cost-saving to be had, as well as a rapid launch and the flexibility of multiple ways of interacting with people.

My take on it: This could be interesting for all apps: mobile, cloud, or desktop. Even video games.

The Twitter Fan wiki has cool apps, quotes like those from above and other insight and information about the new media command line: Twitter.
