WildFireTweets

After watching the smoke rise above the neighborhood next door, then trying to catch a glimpse of the fire from nearby roads, I finally found a non-stupid use for Twitter: I pulled out my computer and started tweeting back and forth with a dozen or so people who had a better view than I did, either because they had found a better locale to watch from and/or they we’re nearby with a mobile tweeting platform. Oi. What a wacky world.

    Both blackberry and iphone have fairly good apps for mobile twitter. And, actually, the whole point of the thing — character limit included — is built around the idea of sending sms text messages to update your status.
