I watched the twitter twitter story about the Caltrain by Ravi Pina. Pina finds it very frustrating not knowing why there is a train delay and when it will arrive if late, so he wanted to find a way for people to communicate with each other so that they can get updates and other info on the trains.
Pina thought it would be a great idea to create a Caltrain twitter account that gives followers real time updates on whats happening. Users on the train or standing on the platforms can send an email to Caltrain on whats going on and it gets sent over to twitter. over 90k people follow the account. There is also a backup site at Caltrain.com
I am on the Northland lacrosse team and I think we could use twitter to live tweet updates on games and post upcoming events. Being that we have only three home games, people from Northland aren’t going to be going to the away games, but if they want to know what the score is, having a twitter account tweeting about it would solve that.
