I get that Chatterous is try to enable ubiquitous communication via multiple devices and platforms. But, you already have SMS and IM integration - who would want to use Twitter as the vehicle to send messages? Since all your Chatterous traffic is "direct" - there is no benefit of having this go through Twitter as the underlying transport layer - none of your user's Twitter followers will see the messages or know that a conversation is going on. And that's what seems the primary benefit of Twitter - enabling the impromptu/casual discussions that don't happen otherwise. I would think Friend Feed integration would be more useful (do you have that already?) - that way my friends can see that I'm involved in a discussion by following my FF feed.
