Twitter

your roommate must not follow many people, or she would go insane.
my roomate is insane. BOTH her phones (her stupid flid keypad phone thing AND her Side Kick) make it sound like she is having and R2 unit orgy where ever she fucking is.

So you have a girlfriend!

i have recently found myself in a relationship. if you followed my Plurk you would know that...

Twitter has a open api for the updates.
Twitter has hundreds if not thousands of utilities and tools that consume or create updates.
Twitter has SMS alerts in some countries, and other countries you can use things like http://www.twitsms.co.uk/twitsms/public/index to receive updates to any mobile phone.
Twitter updates are so visible that news spreads faster via twitter than by any other medium.

Twitter rocks... get on there, use it, take it easy, accept you don't have to read everything... and when you suddenly find you need it, it's there.

all this talk makes me feel like we are living in some sort of post cyber punk world with out having the neat dystopian cyber punk world first. i for one feel jipped.

anyway, to see what the hub bub is all about i have joined the masses...

fuck me...

What the hell is a Plurk? Is this about plurking-related activities? Or have I missed one of your threads? Nice news, anyway!

i do find it pretty awesome that you diss twitter but have a plurk, and then join twitter anyway :)

i have a feeling that twitter will change the world. In about 3 years most people will be using this to stay in touch, mobile phone conversations will decline as we move towards most inter himan communication being by text as we become more and more impersonal. Eventually humans will lose the power of speech on the use it or lose it basis that underpins Darwinism evolution. The vocal chord will become the new appendix.

hey i still don't trust micro chips
i'm a 60's child
not in my 60's but born in the 60's !

it's all a load of bollocks isn't it? aren't you all kidding yourselves that other people give a fuck what you are up to? if they were that curios couldn't they just email you? or pick up the phone?

It will change the instant messaging model, as it is a clear winner as a replacement to SMS messaging when data plans on phones become bog standard.

SMS = expensive, limited, broadcast to specific people only.
Twitter = cheap, feature rich, publish to anyone interested.

If that happens then the impact on telephone companies is huge as a sizeable chunk of money comes from charging a lot for very little (SMS charges are in real-terms virtually non-existant, yet they charge anything from a few pence to almost a pound depending on lots of arbitrary criteria).

The real question is how will twitter make money? It's the big question around twitter that hasn't really been answered (they're not yet making a profit and until they do it's hard to say that what they're trying is really viable long-term).

@ mr smith my point exactly

whats your twitter id by the way

I think that's the wrong way to approach it. The solution will probably who will be the first to develop the tech into an integrated function. They'll be the ones to buy twitter and profit as licensees.
