Twitter - in 140 characters or less…

Today, I received a Twitter asking me how to describe Twitter in 140 characters or less. I find it very hard, but what I came up with was “Versatile activity blog with the ability to network with others”.

Now, this may not make much sense to many of you - but regardless it is a pretty good sum-up of what Twitter actually is.

More to the point, I think I might be making a miniature application for Twitter, possible even something that could be loaded as a module for forums/bulletin boards and/or blogs/diary’s. Which would simply use the titles of what people are posting/blogging about, as a twitter - with a tiny-URL going towards that particular post. I think this would be something that would combine everything together - using Twitter as the networking hub - which it is in its own right. If I do create this I will most definitely be releasing it on this blog. WATCH THIS SPACE! (Not this very space of course, but I’m sure that you all know what the saying means….)
