On Twitter, Only Some Airlines Soar

Attention, passengers: This is your airline Twittering.

Yeah, like everybody else. But in the cramped, bandwidth-starved confines of airport concourses and airplanes, Twitter -- available not just on Web-connected cellphones (http://m.twitter.com) but even on those that handle only text messaging -- can help airlines and passengers talk to each other.

As a result, some airlines can't seem to shut up on the popular site, which allows users to publish short updates to the Web. Others, however, haven't printed their Twitter boarding passes just yet.

To see what's possible, read Southwest Airlines' Twitter feed (http://www.twitter.com/SouthwestAir).
