Crazy Twitter idea

I just made it to work and was about to update my Twitter feed, when I got to thinking – what if there was some sort of USB device that worked like a scrolling marquee. You plugged it in and it would follow your Twitter feed and/or several other people’s Twitter feeds and then display them on a small screen.

So as you update your Twitter feed throughout the day, a little sign would show your co-workers what you were up to. That way if you’re busy coding or something where you don’t want to be disturbed, you could post a Tweet and everyone walking by would know.

Maybe that’s would defeat the purpose of community building that Twitter encourages – but it sure would be handy today.

  1. well people at work don’t typically check any of my online stuff. 🙂

    im not worried about other people seeing it – just think it would be nice to update a little marquee sign – similar to what other people do around here that have offices – they stick signs on their doors that say “Do not disturb… I’m doing whatever….”

    since i don’t have an office or a door its harder to do that.
