Twitter can be an excellently fast way of keeping tabs on what’s going on in various neighborhoods across the Boston region. Some feeds are more informative than others—and more regularly updated. These are those (non-media/governmental) neighborhood feeds.

Can't wait till the world calms down enough to tweet stuff only people living between Dorchester Bay and Blue Hill Ave might care about.

Fort Point
This feed serves as a relentless chronicler and occasional critic of development and infrastructure plans—and the lack thereof—in Fort Point and the neighboring Seaport.

Jamaica Plain
A good digest for keeping tabs on the trends, as well as the openings and the closings, in Boston’s Jamaica Plain.
