Twitter

On the Web - Wilbert on April 12, 2007 at 7:33 am,

Hi, hypernarrative is a blog by Wilbert Baan about Art, Media and Technology with a focus on interactive storytelling. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed with Google or Netvibes. I'll post a few messages a week. Thanks for visiting!

I’m on Twitter for three weeks now and still not sure what to do with it. I really like it, but can’t exactly tell why.

At first sight Twitter looks useless, but so did Last.fm to me when I first noticed it.

Twitter is like Instant Messaging mixed with RSS. You can subscribe to someone’s stream and talk to someone. And of course opt-out whenever you like.

Maybe I like the buzz around it, a lot of stuff is happening. Everyday a creative mind has constructed a new feature. Who knows, for now it is a lot of fun.

Twitterrific for your desktop.
Twittervision a mashup with Google Maps.
Twitterment for comparing Twits.

I’ts still not possible to post to Twitter by MSN which is my favourite messenger. If that was possible I would use it more I guess… It takes to much time to login to Twitter every time I want to post something. [...]

  2. [...] I wondered what it was that made microblogging via Twitter or Jaiku interesting. According to Jyri It is all about disruptive innovation. How can you make something that already exists simpler, cheaper and more convenient. This is the success behind the popular social sharing sites around. [...]
