Hey, Twitter guys, quit teasing us!

Twitter co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone are posting mysterious tweets about some kind of impending announcements. Who's got guesses?

Something's afoot at Twitter. Well, something's always afoot at Twitter, but this time the founders are leaving everyone hanging by Twittering about it.

CEO and co-founder Evan Williams posted to his Twitter account on Thursday morning: "Tomorrow just became a very big day. (Sorry for the teaser--more later.)" Ooh! Fascinating!

So what's up with his fellow co-founder, Biz Stone? He's in Boston, which happens to be where one of Twitter's big investors, Spark Capital, is headquartered. Spark led Twitter's $15 million Series B funding round last year.

"It's almost midnight in Boston--did I really agree to get up before 6am?" Stone posted to Twitter late on Wednesday night. "Tomorrow is going to be a long and interesting day!"

So will there be a big Friday announcement from Twitter? Who knows! Since Twitter raised additional funding from Benchmark and Institutional Venture Partners just two months ago, it's probably not more venture capital. There's a chance the announcement will turn out to be, well, nothing.

But seriously, 140 characters can be such a darned tease! Leave comments with your best guesses.

UPDATE at 11:02 a.m. PT: If this is to be believed, looks like Oprah Winfrey is starting to use Twitter on Friday, and that's the big news. Oh, well.
