Event Photos - in Real Time

http://www.event-architects.com/Blog/EA+Solution+Photo+Share
reminds me of the new ditigal frame (The Kodak Pulse: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kodak-Pulse/407870365507#!/pages/Kodak-Pulse/407870365507?ref=mf). The photos are linked to a single email address, so ppl can email photos in real time and have them viewed automaticaly via the frame.
Linking a real time feed from twitter and linking a # to the event (in Event Archetect's case it was a cruise) would be a fun, real-time way to make the experince more interactive, socailly mixed and techinically releveatn.

7 Impressive Twitter Customer Service/Brand Management Cases

http://www.chromaticsites.com/blog/impressive-twitter-customer-service-brand-management-cases/

Yes, a slightly dated article from 2009. However, reigns true in terms of the importance of a brand's not only presence on twitter, but also in the transparency of messaging and the immediacy of responses. These are essential understandings for brands,not only for growth, but survival in a social media oriented climate.

Hootsuite is insanely helpful to anyone who tweets. I don't know how I tweeted pre-Hootsuite, then again I don't know how I existed before I could access email on my cell phone.
