Get Weather Alerts via Twitter
Lets face it, some of us are on Twitter more than we are paying attention to most other forms of communication. We can tell you what was recently blogged, but we sometimes have no idea what’s going on outside our window with the weather. Wouldn’t it be nice to get them to come to you, via Twitter? Now you can.
I’ve used a combination of dlvr.it and Weather.gov weather alert feeds to post updates to Twitter. Now when a storm is coming, I can know!
Google Coming to the Twin Cities?
No, Google is not opening up an office here just yet, but over at the Technology Evangelist they have a convincing argument going on.
Their thought is that Google should move into the Ford plant in St. Paul. Why?
- Well first of all it’s a large plot of land in the middle of the Twin Cities. It’s hard to find this kind of land in such a big city. Plenty of room for the volleyball courts and such.
- It also comes with its own hydroelectric dam which can help keep energy costs down, power search servers or Google Dances for days.
