CW Austin on Twitter!

I was watching the CW today while at the gym and noticed a new Twitter ad. They are asking residents of Austin to provide live updates on what is going on in the city. http://twitter.com/TheFace_of_CW The example that I especially liked was a status update on Barton Springs. This is a great way for people in Austin to reach a greater number of people. When you send an @reply to TheFace_of_CW with an update on what is going on in Austin, you will reach your followers as well as the people that follow the CW on Twitter as well. What a great networking tool! It could be used for things from traffic updates to concerts. I love how Twitter is changing the world!

Hey, I mean, national news networks are doing it, why not local television networks as well? While I don't know if Twitter is changing the world (that may be going a bit far at this point in time), it has certainly reached a great variety of people from all over. It's almost shocking to see the rapid amount of growth this website has had in a relatively short amount of time.
