..can't see the benefit in twitter yet, but a local Red Cross organizer thinks its the bees knees for informing alot of folks quickly. I need to set up an account..
The ONE thing that Twitter is good for is mass notification. It's simple, it works (mostly) and, quite frankly, it's the best way to reach people and to get reports back.
You don't even have to know you're using twitter to subscribe to an announcement stream.
It's definitely great for mass coordination, uses less bandwidth than voice and allows for field operations with minimal setup time.
