'Twitter', a relatively new social-networking tool, has seen its usage grow by leaps and bounds in recent months. In fact, Tuesday night's 'Tweet Up', a gathering of Twitter users in Rhode Island, was packed with people, from all sorts of backgrounds and businesses.

ABC 6 Reporter Tom Langford has the story on what all this 'tweeting' is about.

Hi BetteroffTed...it may not have been the 1st "tweet up" but it was the first tweet up of its kind with a panel. Make sure you spread the word about your tweet ups so they can be newsworthy, too! :) The Daily Blonde, Providence, RI

Just so you know, this was NOT "RI's first Tweet-Up."

Is Peyton Manning Back to His Old, Choking Ways?

  • No, he threw one pick. Look for the Colts to be in the Bowl again next year.
  • Yes, he was in a groove when the Colts won in 2006, and it's long since worn off.
