What if you used Twitter to send in short reports from the field and they were all viewed on the big screen back in the Emergency Operations Center or Headquarters Command Post? HQ would have a heads up on what is going on in the field, wouldn't have to take phone calls and translate into a database, and....everybody in the field could monitor what was going on in the other areas.
Seems to me there are good simple applications for Twitter like this. I see folks using it during conferences in a very similar manner. It's a big bulletin board.
The really, really nice part is that it seems to update so quickly and let's you know the age of the post. Quicker updates more frequently instead of the long, once a shift situation reports.
