Twittervision - Eavesdropping on the Planet
One of the more interesting applications I’ve been using lately is twitter. At first I didn’t really get it. I was already using IM and blogging and e-mail of course, so the ability to blast out a short little “tweet” about what I’m doing just seemed like a waste of time.
I didn’t really catch on to the power of the application until I attended SXSW a few weeks ago in Austin and the entire b5 team used it as a sort of GPS tracking and status update mechanism for anyone in our group. We used it for quick information like:
- Where’s everyone at?
- We’re doing dinner at __________ at 6pm?
- Heading back to the ranch, who needs a ride.
- and of course @wasoverheard
Since coming back to the “real world” away from Austin and SXSW, I’ve been using twitter to stay in touch with everyone I met and what they’re up to.
Just today though Darren Rowse, the Problogger, alerted me, via twitter of course, that he was enjoying twittervision.
Twittervision let’s you see various tweet’s coming in from all over the world. People who I don’t know of at all, but it’s interesting to read what people are saying thousands of miles away.
Careful! It’s addictive.
