I think I may have an idea to solve the question of doing alerts on Twitter for RR. The answer would be for the @RR_LiveAudio for Major Alerts, but then also expand it by creating a Twitter List. Basically the list would include various twitter feeds that other users have created, or will create.
As in example in Utah they have a UtahAlerts feed with multiple persons contributing ( UtahAlerts (UtahAlerts) on Twitter ) feeds like that could be added to by the administrator of the RR_LiveAudio twitter feed but the alerts themselves taken care of on a local level.
The reason this could work well is that those that do not want to view many updates could just follow the @RR_LiveAudio feed that posts only major events. Other could then follow the alert list twitter/RR_Audio/Alerts or whatever it is set up as. The list could easily be expanded, or have areas removed that no longer post. It also allows the local groups to decide how they will do the alerts; single person, geoup, or other options.
One last thing this will allow is kinda a central list of scanner alert feeds nationwide that you could individually follow if you do not want to see the entire list. Even if you are not registered with twitter I believe that you can view a list.
Hopefully this all makes sense to everyone. Feel free to ask questions, or post links to Twitter based scanner alerts you may already know of that would be good on such a list.
