Trasnmedia writer Jay Bushman did a story via tweets called "The Good Captain", a sci fi take on a Melville story.

He rebroadcast it last year, but the original was in 2007 when Twitter was new and no one knew what it was going to be good for. So he experimented.

I followed it at the time and had the tweets sent to my phone as they came in. It was an interesting way to experience a story. Because it was spread out over time, I found myself keeping the context in my head as a low level background process.

There's probably a very interesting way or two to use that phenomenon.
