Comment on Propose HN: Give me an Idea for a Startup

Comments

..:: Twitter[1] Train Station Availability ::..

Twitter <--> HTML Status Page gateway so that commuters on twitter (lets say Streeters ) can tweet which stations are closed, or how long journeys are taking.

Streeters tweet to a protocol e.g. ::

  @tubechannel: s:Canary Wharf e:Bond Street 50m
would say my journey from Canary Wharf to Bond Street took 50 mins (normal 20).

.

If you gave Streeters Karma, you could filter out the trolls (hope above experience)

Other commuters read your Status Page and see Google Adsense advertising.
