(Northwestern University) Tweet this, Ashton Kutcher, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears. Just because you have a ton of followers on Twitter doesn't necessarily mean you're among the most influential people in the Twitterverse, according to researchers from Northwestern University.

An Apple executive just signed up for Twitter. Amazing, given how secretive the company is (and that's why any story about a Tweet from Steve Jobs should be disregarded).

People are continuing to find new and interesting things to do with Twitter. One is Stweet, a combination of Twitter and Google Map's Streetview that uses georeferencing.

Select a city from the picklist (or enter another city at the bottom of the screen) and it'll show you the most recent Twitter posting from that city, as well as the Streetview image of the location from which it was posted.

The image updates when a new Tweet comes in from that city, which means it's going to be very interesting the next time there's an earthquake or other disaster.

Too bad Streetview isn't real-time....
