TWITTER

Have set up a Twitter account, done my first tweet and have "played around". Not sure if this is for me though and think I would rather stick to texting!

I can see the benefit of tweeting as a means of communication in that it is so instant and it is oviously popular as the latest figures show there are around 140 million tweets a day! Following the earthquake in Christchurch, whilst listening to 92.9 on my way home from work one night, I heard that a man in America contacted his sister in Auckland, who put out a tweet and a random person was able to go to the fathers address and confirm that he was safe. How wonderful is this technology!

Again I think that it would be great for travellers to be able to access Twitter at the Library to report on their adventures and movements and it would be beneficial for getting information out to customers quickly, e.g to advise of early closure.
