I had an idea today about a text-based radio show that would take place in Twitter. A person could broadcast a series of messages via Twitter at a certain time of day so people that wanted to could tune in.

A text-based radio show would be nice for people that multi-task on the computer. Whenever I try to listen to a podcast while working on the computer, I find that I’m not really paying attention to what the host of the podcast is saying. With the Twitter radio show, a person can simply have a Twitter client open and scan the short messages every once in a while.

Twitter radio shows could also have user interaction by having other Twitter users direct-message the radio show’s Twitter account answers to riddles and stuff like that.

Possibly, a Greasemonkey script or a web Twitter client could be used to create an interface that would be optimal for a Twitter radio show.

A Twitter radio show would be a really easy way to “live-blog” or for a blogger to get in touch with his or her base of readers.
