Today's featured Twitter user is @bitsandwatts. They're a unique, local outfit that essentially aggregates upcoming concert information for the Philly metro area and provides easy access to a few song samples from each artist. They use their Twitter account to keep in touch with users, supplement the event listings on their site, and discuss music with other Twitter users. Although it's part Upcoming.org, part MySpace Music, and part Hype Machine, Bits & Watts is more powerful than the sum of those and similar services. They rock an in-line music player, on-click, same-page listening, and a linear, easy-to-follow listing style that makes it easy to see who's coming and when, and find out if you're interested. From there you can buy tickets, map the venue, and access artist websites. We're always excited to see homegrown projects like Bits & Watts take off, so check them out!

Word of the day: Mockstars. A fascinating look at the latest trend in tribute bands, that of recreating the experience along with the music.
