Didn't Edig mention Twitter as a social network in its patent?
From#331
"In this manner, the device 100, 200 could chronicle a user's status, and could provide different updates to different social networking services. For instance, a user in a coffee shop might want to update their social networking site (such as FACEBOOK) to indicate to users that they are at the coffee shop. Where the user has more than one social networking site, the user might not want this information on a profession networking site (such as LINKED-IN). Conversely, where the user is in a work related activity, such as at a conference, the social template could be configured to provide the same or different updates on the social and professional networking sites. A similar chronicle of the user's status could be provided on TWITTER or other microblog site. In this way, the device 100, 200 would be able to provide constant feeds and updates to automatically enliven a user's social and professional networking site(s) and/or issue microblogs such as tweets according to a status sensed from the various device sensors 110, 120, 130, 140."
