Sweetness: Jimmy Eat World Uses Twitter For Concert-Specific Chats
Jimmy Eat World has just launched an innovative new site for its American tour that uses a clever implementation of Twitter to give fans an easy way to chat about each upcoming concert.

Forums related to individual shows are nothing new - many artists homepages and fan sites feature boards dedicated to helping fans connect and talk about upcoming and recent concerts. But these generally require users to sign up for accounts, and they don’t really work well for ongoing conversations during the show itself. The new Twitter system is much more accessible (assuming you have a Twitter account), and also lends itself to real-time chats.
