But that's the subject for another post. I would have uploaded to Flickr, and I do actually have the Flickr plugin running (I accidentally deleted the plugin from the left column during my 2.7 update). I actually started tagging them to put them up, then stopped. They should appear sometime after lunch today. Tweetworks looks like it is a decent solution. I've been using it a little and like it, although I do notice I am sending out Tweetworks tweets the the crowd at large a lot, and those tend to be utterly out of context. I may try it again for First Night Worcester, but that would violate my "stay home and avoid the drunks on New Years" rule. I really do wonder if Twitter really ever reach mass adoption.

That will soon be changing as mass adoption starts to grow. As a fellow resident of Sutton I can truly relate to your cell reception woes. I always get puzzled looks when I go into networking events in Boston and tell them I have to walk out into my street to get a connection. A couple of other ideas you could use for the photo gallery. You may want to consider uploading the images to Flickr and I believe there is a WordPress plugin widget that will allow you to pull images from Flickr into a window on your blog. You may also want to try tweetworks.com for event crowdsourcing which allows you to form groups (i.e. "Sutton Chain of Lights") and people can comment on threaded conversations within that group. It's kind of like chat rooms for Twitter. Then everything from Tweetworks enters the Twitter stream (unless you choose to keep your group tweets private). This would allow easier tracking of events on Twitter than using a hashtag and makes it easier for non-Twitter users to try it out. Great post and definitely a very cool concept, I think within a more urban scenario (even Worcester) would be interesting to see how well it works without all the rural connection issues.

I have had a test site up since October, and also have a new social media intranet that is going live...in minutes using 2.7 rc1. I have found a few minot buts, but the gallery bit is by far the worst. I am actually replying right from my admin console now. And yes, I have threaded comments turned on.

I read through the article while thinking I'm going to look at the photos next. I'm a little disappointed :-) It sounds like a great idea but that you ran into a number of obstacles with the iphone and rural issues. Is this site running 2.7 already?
