There are many spots out there where you can find the best uses for social media. Well, sometimes folks miss something, or frankly use social media in a way that might be extremely useful for 3-5 people, but for the rest of us is just plain dumb. This is a series of posts about interesting uses of social media.

Tower Bridge in London is on Twitter

So, someone is sitting in the Tower Bridge in london sending out twitter updates to the world.

I caught myself thinking, what would a bridge have to say? Well, a the Tower Bridge is not just any bridge: It is a draw bridge.

The Tower Bridge sends tweets to let us all know that it is opening for X vessel going up or down stream. Thank you Mr. Tower Bridge Twitterer sir because without you, I dont know what I would do without the tweet-update of why and when the bridge is raising and lowering.

Neil,

Thanks for the heads up. This CC business is confusing to me. Thanks for explaining how that Attribution aspect works, I just figured the photo link back was enough!

I guess you learn something new everyday. Thanks Neil.

-Joe
