Carl Tyler's Blog :: I've discovered some fantastic technology!

Category Twitter Humour

What is this technology? Here are a few of it's key features:
* It allows you to broadcast messages really easily, hardly any training needed.
* I can communicate one to many, one to one and many to many
* It has different communications channels, so if I want to I can move my conversation to a side channel
* It is tightly integrated into Emergency systems
* There is a community where people will happily give you the weather and let you know the time etc.
* You can communicate and make friends with people you have never met before, you don't have to meet people for real, it's like a virtual world.
* You can easily connect using anyone elses hardware, even from different manufacturers
* There are mobile versions already available
* Some people have optional tools to record the conversations and get notifications under certain circumstances
* You only have to pay attention to others if you want to

What is this technology? No it's not Twitter, it's CB radio

1 - 10-4 that good buddy ... We've got a 10-52 going on in Redmond. Seems there's a 10-34 of something people are trying to return for a different product?? Since my 20 is in NJ, US of A, I'm going to sit back with my 10-72 and enjoy the show. Emoticon

2 - My MINI has a CB Radio tucked away in the dash (which acts as a great amplifier, so I can use it with the dashboard closed).

We use it on runs when there are too many MINIs that two-way radios just won't cover the range. The first and last car always have to be in touch.
