I decided to sign up for Twitter last night since I'm on a long layover. I was a little concerned with the contacts and password thing also so I used one of my alternate emails and all Twitter does over a secure channel is see if any of your contacts already use Twitter and allows you to "follow" them if desired. It also allows you to send invites to join Twitter to your contacts. When you leave that screen the contacts are gone and if you want to see them again you have to do the password thing all over again so Twitter doesn't save the contact list.

I would like to know if there is a way to have an airline crew open channel twitter going so any crewmember can make inputs and see others.
