How Do You Want Me to Use Twitter?
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?

Let me know what you think in the comments section. If you like the live meeting coverage, want me to move the “LAist Model” where I just tweet every headline I write, or if there’s another strategy I’m missing let me know.
