Twitter the way to Communicate

Just been watching the following link that I came across via twitter http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8113914.stm

basically a house that sends out tweets, to let people know when the lights are on windows are open energy consumption ect. It looked like there was a lot of kit involved an alot of wires. But thinking about this and the IBM advert creating smarter cities and getting devices to talk to each other. I was thinking about starting off a bit smaller than this, and try to mesh up twitter and moodle so that when a new site news article is added a tweet is sent from our moodles tweet account, then maybe expand on the idea maybe creating tweet accounts for the courses we offer so that students could be kept up to date with there course news, assignment hand ins etc as well.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
