Having ‘Hands free’ fun in your car with Twitterfone
Jun 15th 2008NiaLLLarkinUncategorized
I was just reading about how good it is for Dial2Do and twitterfone now that California is banning phone use in cars from July 1st via Pat Phelan
There’s got to be loads of fun news worthy little services here. I mean a Californian’s identity is so strongly tied to their vehicle. There’s got to be a way to leverage this even further. Twitterfone could become a really cool new channel for mediating new forms of social expression between drivers.
Say you get ‘cut off’ in the highway by the driver of a private vehicle. They don’t have a “800-HOW’S-MY-DRIVING” sticker on their bumper. You could show your appreciation by honking you horn but what good does that really do? Alternatively you could use twitterfone and call out a ‘#bad driver’ tag followed by their license plate number. Such twitterfone tweets could be collected, collated and remixed in all sorts of interesting and socially useful ways.
Or say you are stopped in traffic. You keep catching the eye of someone. And there’s clearly a mutual attraction. You might want to twitterfone #tag their license plates and just put some light appreciative message out there and see if they take up on it.
There’s got to be loads of fun and interesting things that you could do.
