I’m starting to better understand the value of Twitter, beyond quick-blogging with a list of friends. KPBS in San Diego, my hometown, is using Twitter to provide fire updates. The platform seems to be benefitting both KPBS (who also puts the feed on their home page) and the Followers.
Twitterer Nate Ritter is doing something similar.
That is a great way to use twitter. I never would have though of using that service that way.
