Twitter madness

Twitter is a service that allows anyone with a cell phone to text up to the minute tid-bits of information from an event and post them online.

The Ledger recently asked a couple of local people headed to the DNC and RNC to twitter for us from there. It worked really well. I'm sure one day soon you'll see our court reporter, Alan Riquelmy, twittering updates from some murder trial. These are all very good uses of the service, in my opinion.

The following is an example of an event you'd probably NOT want to Twitter from.

Thanks, Jeff, for sharing this crazy, unfathomable, INconceivable story/blog post with me.

Argh.
