Well, like I said it's more of a proof of concept than anything else, but I still find it too bad that twitter limits users so harshly (although I'm authed using OAuth, which should grant me more status updates per hour).
In the end you have to think about what twitter aims to be, how people use it, and how you can make it fit that purpose. Otherwise you might as well just add some sort of status box to a website and have the same result.
As you said, a proof of concept though.
What I find interesting about twitter is not the ability to post, but the huge flood of data you can pull from it. I've made a couple of scripts that tries to use the tweets to some interesting result, but alas I do not have enough creativity.
If only I had access to the firehose \:D
