What a wonderful idea, Chris. Thank you for putting this together. I'm trying to get into the wiki now to add my Twitter name under Social Media. :)

Great idea. Makes me wonder why someone hasn't done it in the past. It's so simple it's brilliant!

Wow - that seems like a really good (and, in retrospect, bloody obvious) idea! Ever consider making this a real web application instead of a Wiki? Know any good web programmers? ;)

What a great idea! This makes it easier for people like me (who can be a little shy online) to connect on Twitter!

I really like this idea. It seems particulary useful for people new to twitter, but also for finding tweeps that might be relevant for you.
The pbwiki is a good start. However, I think it will rapidly become more congested as topics, events, locales, etc are added. I agree with Mike, that a for reals webapp may be in order.

What a great idea! These packs allow new people the opportunity to "plug in" starting the moment they join Twitter.
I look forward to reading your future blogs.
See you on Twitter!

Awesome idea. When I am still working on my list of followers for twitter and this would really simplify things.
Also I would like to get listed to if possible. I guess I would be marketed in make money online or internet entrepreneur.
I don't know if there is any work around to using the WYSIWYG editor. From what I can tell with the PBwiki documentation, it wants you to use the WYSIWYG editor to insert a new heading. It seems like new Twitter packs are created by adding a heading level 2 to the document?
I also tried to edit the HTML source and manually use code to add a heading but it didn't seem to work. Also PBwiki still appears to have only a visual captcha on the "contact the Wiki owner," page. I will add that to the Get Satisfaction case. They really should fix the captcha more quickly if they have not already done so.
I will try to play with it some more. Thanks, Mika.

I can't figure out how to add a Twitter Pack in the PBwiki interface using the Jaws For Windows screen reader:

I have reported the problem to Eric Damery of

and to PBwiki via GetSatisfaction:
