Wonders of micro-blogging
Feb 03
I’ve been addicted to things like Twitter for the last few months. There are loads of ‘spin-off’ apps like Raptr and infrastructural apps like TwitPic and TweetEffect popping up all over the place. Twitter Search is a great research tool and way to follow live events. I got news (taken with a pinch of salt) on events like the Mumbai attacks faster than any traditional network gave me. Also, opinions on obscure or local things were much easy to come by.
I enjoy writing tweets. It’s a much quicker way of getting stuff out that trickles through my head or RSS feed. The way tweets are generated is becoming more and more context based however. So, tweets are made when you start playing a game or when you finish working out. The more information we’re willing to part with, like personal data and behaviour, the more interesting (or invasive) apps we’ll have to play with.
