At noon today, LA Streetsblog will provide live coverage of Metro's "Bikes on Trains" meeting via our twitter account at http://twitter.com/lastreetsblog. This raises the obvious question, is there any value in using twitter to get news out faster than I can on Streetsblog at meetings such as this? Is this the best way to use twitter?
