TIBCO's Patrick Sapinski for some news on a CEP-driven
Twitter application (albeit not public yet) that used location
awareness principles to "tweet" people
depending on where they were (e.g. passing a certain location).
The Twitter side of the story was apparently the easy part.

Of course, for corporate applications / private tweets

iGoogle to monitor "the real thing" via RSS
feeds!
