Wow, how fast is Twitter moving into the main stream of our lives. This morning on the news I hear about a child's transplant where the family was kept informed through out the surgery of the progress via Twitter! The surgery involved a kidney transplant which is labor intensive and the family followed along in the waiting area via Twitter.
My real surprise was when I googled "Twitter surgery" and came up with over 3000+ results! It seems many hospitals have implemented this practice to keep families up to date. Here is a link to the article about the surgery at the Children's Hospital in Texas. Twitter in Surgery
I think back to a surgery that my husband had last year and wish the hopsital Tweeted surgeries. I was alone waiting for my husband for several hours and talk about nerve wracking! Having updates via Twitter sure would have helped me remain calm.
I think we are just beginning to see the use of Twitter. If a hospital can Twitter a surgery, what can we do with it as agents, brokers, mortgage, inspectors...
