Twitter not only is a site where we replay to the question, "What are you doing?", but also can be an alternative way of informing and reminding us of anything like news, weather forecast, blog posts which gathers many attentions, TODOs, and so on.
For instance, there's a tweet which broadcasts weather forecast of Tokyo area in Japan to its followers.
Sorry to say, since I'm not live in Tokyo or near there but Amami Island, Kagoshima, forecast of Tokyo area is entirely useless for me. So, I made my version of it:
Also, I made another tweets which convey QotD, Question of the Day, from Vox, really fascinating blogging tool offered by Six Apart, to Twitter.
- Twitter / qotd_vox (in English)
- Twitter / qotdvoxja (in Japanese)
They just only fetch QotD from Vox and dump it onto Twitter, but QotD is suitable also for such sites as Twitter, so it's worth the trial to do it, I think.
