Reporting with Twitter: Orange County is on fire

The Orange County Register is aggregating tweets about fires in the area right now.

This is advanced reporting with Twitter, jumping way ahead from using it as a tool to push out headlines, and serving a very different information need than the promotional / community building of a Colonel Tribune, as much as I admire that effort.

  1. Thank you for the mention. oregonlive.com deserves some credit. Their “Portland Twitters” page served as an inspiration for what we did.
