Opera and Twitter, The perfect couple

I came across a very interesting article tonight that gave a great example of how twitter is being used by a certain organisations and who would have thought that it would be the Royal Opera House! That’s right they are using twitter as a mass collaboration tool where people tweet to @youropera with a line that is 140 characters or less and a list is complied of submitted lyrics. As the project continues the lyrics are being scored by Helen Porter and is to be performed in the royal opera house in London. I find it fascinating that these collaborative tools can be used in such a wide variety of ways. If you feel you want to contribute, do it via twitter.com/youropera, also you can view the  lyrics so far

Have you heard of any other unusual ways tools like this are being used in organisations or businesses? share them along with your opinions.
