Interesting mention of GeoJSON in this Businessweek article on the Twitter encoding specification.

discussion topics:
- since GeoJSON is used by Twitter, it probably surpasses KML as the most prevalent geodata format in usage, with 600,000 geo-referenced tweets per day [1].
- the POI SWG is considering GeoJSON as the default encoding format
- OWS-10 is considering GeoJSON as the encoding format for geodata change logs

Is it time for OGC to formalize usage of GeoJSON in an international standard?

Well, okay, it's not just about GeoJSON. But nonetheless, a pretty good mention for the little format that could.
