Motor Racing Network has begun what I think is a creative use for Twitter. They've set up a separate account named @MRNClassics and on "Throw Back Thursdays" (#TBT for short on Twitter), they are streaming the MRN audio from an historical race and tweeting "live updates". A week or two ago, they tweeted updates of the 1970 Alabama 500 from Talladega and won by Pete Hamilton. Today, they are streaming and updating the 1990 Southern 500.
So what if you already know the outcome. Perhaps you've forgotten it, want to re-live it, or think its interesting concept to get short snippets of info to your phone, iPad, PC, etc. like is done today.
If you've been wondering whether to experiment with Twitter, this might be a neat place to start.
I'm on Twitter with the name @toomuchcountry.
