Twitter Wins First-Ever 'Crunchie' Award

It's a good thing we made it to the Herbst Theater in San Francisco on time last night because the inaugural award given out by Om Malik at the first annual Crunchies was to Twitter for Best Mobile Startup.

Recognition as a mobile startup is important to us because from our early roots we've been a communication utility over SMS. We added more ways to interact with Twitter but we remain committed and inspired by mobile.

Thank you for considering and voting for Twitter. And huge thanks to the important people represented by the little squares on this page. They are the folks who will help us win "Best Overall" next year!

Great job, and congratulations! I'm looking forward to seeing what other features and innovations y'all come up with. :)

Maybe you could get it to work properly now that you've won awards and such. Service has been appalling these past two weeks.

Congrats! You guys kick ass! Would love to see the ability to add multiple users to one account much like Wordpress where you have an administrator, editor, and author. Chances are you are already working on it.
