Evelyn Rodriguez is on her way to New Orleans. She’s using Twitter to keep her friends and followers informed about her journey across the American southwest.

This seems like a particularly good use of Twitter to me. Even in its condensed form, it’s a travel journal. Not Kerouac–he could never have been bothered with such short form–but it’s evocative text in real time, or mobile time to be exact.

Personally, I think this is where the best content is. I know many compose tweets from their desktop environment. I do it. But, for this micro-blogging medium, I like composing on the fly, and I like reading text composed on the fly.
