I'm taking a long weekend with my wife, kids and my parents to celebrate Mother's Day at Disney World. So imagine my surprise when I recently was introduced to a Twitter account @twisney by Doug Haslam (@DougH on Twitter). Twisney aggregates updates from anyone who uses "@twisney" in their tweets and then shares it on Twitter and on their site.If you want to understand how citizen journalists armed with cellphones are going to change the world–and create challenges and opportunities for businesses–spend a few minutes at Twisney.com.
What you’ll find there: Live updates from ordinary people walking around Disney World, using their cellphones to share their experiences with anyone who cares to take notice.

Scott,
Have a wonderful trip! Be sure to check out Mt. Everest at Animal Kingdom. It is one heck of a ride!
Drew
Hi Scott, Scott here from Twisney. You got a popular name my friend. :)
Glad to see you found the site and I hope you have a good time using it. Thanks for the props!
See ya,
Scott
Hi Scott -- You may want to ping @patmay1 on Twitter. He's a reporter with the San Jose Mercury News who is currently writing a story on innovative uses of Twitter. I bet he'd be interested in Twisney!
Scott,
i should credit @Dayngr for turning me on to Twisney. Unfortunately, I was halfway through my stay last week when I heard of it, so only got a handful of text posts up, and no pix. Next time for sure.
I expect the full, um, Monty from you on your visit tho.
Very cool. I'll be headed down to Disney with the family sometime in the coming months. As a Twitter addict, this will give me an excuse to keep my eye on Twitter while cruising around the Magic Kingdom.
Enjoy your trip!
@astrout
