Twitter is on one hand micro blogging and on the other hand public sms. Yet, it has social aspects too. Bottom line, it is a new communication medium. Like with other mediums, when they were new, people are using it in different ways and still experimenting.

One way to go about it is to find people that tweet about what you’re interested in and “follow them.” Their feed will be delivered to you. Then you can choose to interact or what ever from there.

All kinds of services are available to make tweeting easier. You can get into that stuff later if you like.

“One might expect an earth-friendly, vegan friendly, animal friendly, ultra-p.c. dining establishment to have an equally refreshing and progressive restroom. I envisioned a restroom utopia with gentle waterfalls, organic soaps, touchless fixtures and toilets with low gpfs (gallons per flush to the industry outsiders)… Unfortunately, this restroom was far from utopia, sporting a dingy black plunger and old-school McDonald’s-style orange floor tiles.”

They put so much thought into designing their products and sales floor that may or may not grab the customers’ attention, but neglect the spot that at least a few customers are guaranteed to visit.

I had Fuddruckers today. Whoah. I don’t even want to see THAT receipt.

Electronic billboards that are part rss reader would be interesting in the radio space. I would like to see that sometime.

Great point about the medium. Radio… quick changing audio … not the best mesh with the printed large and static space. Maybe the angle is to poke at that. Maybe the best billboard for radio would be boring as all get out… and simly say… “Wish it would change, don’t you?” 89.3

With newer digital billboards it seems like it would be more effective to have something like “Now playing” and “Up next” that would give you a reason to turn on your radio. Or maybe a big tagline for what was currently on the air like, “Is America too damn religious?” and then people may actually turn their dials to see what they were talking about. But with the older style billboards that need to be changed slowly, I have no idea. It’s a slow changing visual medium – radio is the exact opposite.

Could we split the board in half? Run a series? Make a webcampain? do a search and plot with online rewards? Stick a joke up there? Do a series on interesting facts. Remind people to shut off their exterior water valves for the winter, or replace smoke detector batteries? I mean, can’t we do something more?

I am guessing they put radio station ads up when they don’t have anything else to post.
