When the state budget negotiations dragged on for days in marathon
sessions, John Meyers of KQED radio came up with the idea of using Twitter to send constant
bursts of news information out on the web. Kind of like a mashup between the MacWorld keynote blogs and C-Span.
Capitol Weekly wrote:
"Myers' Twitter site was the most authoritative and most sought-after
source of real-time, insider budget information."
"Throughout the weekend, the number of followers of Myers' feed
steadily grew... With a couple of keystrokes, and some diligent
updating, Myers had become the go-to-guy for budget information."

Ah, thanks - when I first looked at this item, the link was to a news story about this, not the actual twitter stream.
