In a newsletter message from Twitter’s Co-founder, Biz Stone, Twitter is creating a little more buzz about Chirp, Twitters first-ever develop conference. With the explosive growth of Twitter applications, real-time search deals with major search engines, and the geo-location feature added in 2009 – Twitter is putting the power of tens of thousands of developers to work. Back in December, we wrote about this huge step which released ‘army of developers’ on their realtime data (previously only accessible by Google and Bing) and how Twitter is putting developers to work for them.

The recent newsletter from Biz Stone, also offers a ‘tip of the hat’ to the humanity and ’cause-related’ application of Twitter in projects like helping Haiti through Twitter as in Hope140 and Fledgling, a project geared towards bringing books to poor regions of the world.

Watch for more explosive growth this year, as developers will now lift the platform to perform/apply in ways that could amaze everyone and truly show the power of the medium.
