One thing we've experienced with the hyperlocal Breaking News Network is the power of the Twitter feed itself to brand the Breaking News website. We've discovered that local Breaking News websites are not portals that locals go to religiously; they use them on a "need to know" basis.
For example, Breaking News is used to find restaurants on Twitter broadcasting special deals or checking the Events tab to find out what's going on in real time within the city. To keep the website top of mind, the Twitter feed (i.e. @BreakingSFNews) engages the followers of Breaking SF News to remember the site. @BreakingSFNews, as well as @BreakingLANews and @BreakingNYCNews all grew organically to between 2,200 and 2,500 followers over three months, adding credence to the concept that people at some time need breaking news resources.
