Twitter got a good rap from the NY Times and has been questioned by Steve Collins (who saw the good of it a few days later).
I was talking to my colleague and friend Matthew Hodgson a couple of days ago about Twitter who came up with a good analogy that works for me: Twitter is SMS for the web.
I like it. Like SMS, Twitter is easy. Like SMS, Twitter is used for “where I am at the moment, honey” and “one quick question” messages. Unlike SMS, they are not stored and indexed - maybe this is a good thing, or maybe like google cha messages they should be recorded. Thoughts?
Yep, and now I’m hooked.
BTW, storage and searchability for Twitter by claiming it at Technorati.
Thanks for the tip, Steve
That was the one missing piece of the puzzle. Now if Google bought Twitter and offered calendar integration with MyGADS, mmmm, shiny
