    What was Twitter doing that a service like Pushover couldn’t do for them? Same for the city/municipality who stopped sending out their transit updates via Twitter.

      The Japanese attitude seems to be that if there’s a way to increase the likelihood that the alert will go through, then they will do that too.

        Ah, sort of a “yes, and” attitude. For something so important, I can’t blame them. Texts, calls, emails, social, push alerts - do it all.
