twttr and others
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)
