Traffic: Track Commuting Delays via Twitter with Commuter Feed

So I’m reading this article and at first I think, “What a great way to use Twitter!” because I’m slowly but surely transforming into a total social media marketing nerd.

And then, I thought a bit more…

• If you’re using Twitter while driving, you’re an idiot. Not only are you an idiot, you’re a dangerous idiot who is probably about four seconds away from causing a wreck.
• Although, it’s a good thing you have Twitter so you can tell everyone at the moment of impact.
• Are actual commuters going to use this or is the feed going to be hijacked by people like me and her, mocking unsuspecting drivers with cackles like, “HAHA! Sucks to be you! Enjoy having to leave the house at 6 to be to work by 8!”
• “0 incidents posted” in Baghdad. Really?

Oh…and the writers strike is over! You would think this would be good news, but now when am I supposed to get my schoolwork done?
