How can we use Twitter in Games?

What's it all about? Well for that, you can go check out the twitter homepage. But I always sum it up by calling it microblogging, because that's just how I roll! (if you're going to ask me what 'blogging' is, I may slap you!) A little bit of buzz in the 'biz', is the question;

How can Games Designers harness the power of social networking? 

I'd like to take a minute to have a punt, so sit right where you are!     

Concept : Survival Game with a theme of 'having someone out there'

 If we can imagine a game where the protagonist wakes up, very much like '28 days later', to an empty city and has to explore and find the answer to his/her's current situation.The player might come across story elements involving other survivors or even just clues.

As the player interacts with these elements and makes different choices, affecting the outcome of the core story, the game could use the players twitter account to 'tweet' the action taking place in the game. This allows the game's content to be affected by the player's twitter followers.

Well there's something to think about. Eastenders is on and I need to see what happens! I'll twitter what I think afterwards, because I know the world will want to know one day! ;)
