Thing #17 - Community

For this mobile thing, I explored some community apps.  During winter, I followed St. Paul on twitter to find out about plowing, road conditions etc.  However, I found that I just received too many tweets, so I unfollowed them and returned to just checking their twitter feed when I needed some information.

I tried out the different apps and I was a bit disappointed.  I spent the most time with the app Going Out, but it was lacking, especially aesthetically.  I choose the Art and Museum icon, and was surprised to see that they had nothing on the Matisse exhibit that is closing soon.

I get most of my events from reading City Pages or Vitamn or things I hear on the Current or other radio stations.  I like to make lists of fun things to do, and type or write them out.  I'm not opposed to a community app, but I wasn't thrilled with these ones.
