Grayson Daughters is a-twitter. Also a Twitterer.

In society's race to be faster than ever, the latest front-runner is a new technology called Twitter.

"Last night I'm on my computer, and a Twitter pops up from my friend Shelby, who says he's at the Vortex," says Daughters, a video producer and steady blogger from Buckhead. "If I'd been out, it would have gone to my phone, and I might have stopped in and had a beer with him."
