Atlanta gas hunt rocks the Twitter
September 29, 2008 at 10:21 am by Andisheh Nouraee in NewsSearching for gasoline in Atlanta is one of the most popular uses of the micro-blogging service Twitter this morning, according to Twitter’s list of most-searched topics.
Note: #atlgas is the only non-national topic on the list.
If you have no clue what I’m talking about — web-enabled Atlantans are blogging the location of stations with gasoline by blogging it to Twitter along with the characters #atlgas. Including #atlgas in the message allows people to find up-to-minute gasoline sightings simply by searching for the characters #atlgas.

You can also get (free) updates to your mobile about where gas is available in Atlanta by txting ATLGAS to 695949. Been doing this since Sunday, and it’s pretty helpful. Good luck..
