Kudos to the folks at Travel Portland, the city's official tourism agency, for scoring attention for their innovative "Twisitor Center" in an Associated Press article that is being picked up in newspapers around the country!
The Twisitor Center allows Twitter users to "tweet" or send short questions about things to see and do in Portland, and get short answers back fast.
The Twisitor Center is a cool way to tap into the friendliness of wired Portlanders so they can easily share their knowledge of unique ways to enjoy the city that only natives possess. It's a tool that many companies will find particulalry useful. For instance, real estate and relocation companies can tell their clients the Twisitor Center since it will give them instant access to information that will make adjusting to their new city much easier. I'm sure that Twisitor Centers for other places will soon start popping up like mushrooms in an Oregon forest.
