   That's funny, I was thinking about this very thing this morning.  Here's   
   an interesting use of Facebook and Twitter:   
      
   KFDM's 6 This Morning (kfdm.com) asks their morning audience interesting   
   questions each morning.  An example might be "We're wondering how many of   
   you out there are worried about the threat of radioactive fish?  Go to   
   Facebook and post your thoughts..."  Then, later on they put up live a   
   shot of their Facebook page, magnified to show the comments, and scroll   
   through them.   
      
   The same station redid their weather section on kfdm.com about a year ago   
   and use Twitter to broadcast weather updates through the day.  I'm sure   
   they probably tied an RSS feed to Twitter for their news, but I don't use   
   any of that.  Only reason I knew about the weather feed is they mirror it   
   on the weather page.  I don't like it, but I can certainly see how it's   
   useful for others.  I miss the more detailed forcasts they used to do...   
   seemed more personal.  It all comes off as automatic/computerized now... :p
