Last Thursday Ev posted about Odeo's
side project - twttr - which basically
involves sending (mass) SMS-es to your friends with your status, etc. Ev
positions it as a mobile blogging tool probably because all the messages are
listed on the web in a public
timeline.
Some people argue that twttr's just a West Coast version of dodgeball (which is quite used here in
NYC). Personally, I hardly can find much of a personal use of it or as viral
as they claim to be it, but probably people into setting IM funny status
(most likely kinders/teenagers) might use it. We'll see how it goes, the
direction of the future product development is what matters most and most
likely I am not in the target anyways, personally I think hellodeo has better odds to fly.
Digging around the story, I also ran into other cool mobile-centered
apps:
- jaiku
- mocial
- freever (acquired by
buongiorno last year in August)
Do you have anything to say? Fill in the below
