Disney World is everyone’s favorite theme park. And Twitter is the favorite update tool de jour. Combine the two and throw in Microsoft Virtual Earth and you get Twisney. As you can probably imagine, Twisney allows Disney World visitors to update their status and let everyone know just what they’re up. It actually works via text message, IM and email as well as Twitter. Users can attach photos with their updates which will be displayed on the appropriate place on the map. You’ll have to supply your location within the subject of your email. Twisney has a huge list of locations and their abbreviations so they’ll be able to figure out exactly where you are. Twitter users simply have to start each tweet with @twisney. The map updates in real time.
“It's simple. From Walt Disney World (WDW), visitors send status updates to Twisney.com for real-time mapping. Anyone can visit Twisney.com to watch the new status updates throughout the day or take a trip back in time to review historical reports.”
Twisney brings Disney World updates into the modern world. Instead of sending postcards with Goofy and Minnie Mouse to your friends and relatives, you can send them real time updates. The site is simple to use and it’s also fun.
Will people even care to use this? How many Disney World visitors will actually take the time to send updates? How will this be monetized?
