I’m thinking of starting up a reverse manual twitter. Every 5 minutes, I’m going to IM everyone I know and ask what they’re doing.

I’ve heard of this twitter thing before back in the early 90s. Back then it was just called IRC.

This is the best advertisement you can buy. I wonder how much it costs in comparison to the advertising blocks on the techcrunch side bar.

alex et al., Think of Techcrunch’s twitter as crunchnotes with smaller blog posts, Twitter is a LOT more than telling everybody what you are doing. Just like you get live blog updates on RSS, you get live microblog updates on SMS.

anthropocentric
Twitter is for self-important folks.

Michael Arrington
yeah, well, so is blogging I guess. Expression requires you to like yourself at least a little bit.

Andrew
Yeah, until your freakin’ mobile bill comes in. txt msgs get expensive with twitter. Pointless application. Go crazy for one month then realize you wasted a lot of money txting yourself.
-

Andrew, if you signed up for something that sends you tons of SMS messages without knowing what text messages cost on your phone plan, you can’t blame Twitter.
I don’t think I’d want SMS notifications, though. I get enough text messages as it is. I’ll just stick with Twitterific for now so it can only reach me at my computer.

Michael Arrington
yeah i turned text messages off very, very quickly. Too many beeps on my phone.

Too bad this will quickly go the way of the “how can I make easy money of this new thing” crowd.
… busy checking out this great micro-cap stock that’s ready to skyrocket (spam link)

For all twitter fans we have released a new service to post tweets from a blackberry or a email enabled cellular.
Check it on http://www.mail2twitter.com
Have fun!

Mike: do NOT try out TwitterVision: http://twittermap.com/twittervision — you’ll never get anything else done.

Not the only players.
The next play for CTO of failed startup mfoundry.com is this early stage twitter clone.
Big question is how do they monetize this ?

@Bob Angus:
I was thinking the same thing about the spam bots invading Twitter but that would only be a problem on the public timeline. People have full control over who their friends are, so will spam really be a problem? -

twitter? What a useless idea? Hm. Spending time on this? Not for me.

- Adam KalseyI think that is just about the best idea I’ve ever heard.

Until today I hadn’t thought of Mr. Arrington so much as a twit as a nutter, but apparently I’m wrong.
Is there a comparable service for us nuts?
I checked out nutter.com and sure enough, there it was - Nutter investment advisors!

I just found out about jaiku.com and for me it’s the concept of twitter but done right. Essentially it’s a timeline of your “web life”.
So if you add a delicious bookmark, upload a flickr photo, leave a comment on a blog, or even create a twitter message it will appear on a timeline on Jaiku.com - and for me that’s a tool I’d like to see and use.
So Mike could have an account and then he’d have a profile page with what he did that week on the web. I believe Jaiku even provides the same txt messaging services that twitter uses so you don’t even need to use twitter.
Twitter, right now, is not a tool I’d use. Well, ok, I guess maybe - Crapper.

twitter sounds great for uber-caffeinated teenagers and presidential candidates - everyone else…not so much

we are twitterholics. There was a lot of good information on there, like a guy today said that he had earwax

I thought you said twitter was a worthless waste of time.

People act like test messages cost a lot of money. A lot of people actually have unlimited sms messaging, especially those with smartphones. The shift is inevitable, sms and sms-based services will take the world by storm one day. Twitter might be THE application that propels the U.S. sms market to the next level.

Its always interesting with new blog bling. If it wasn’t for TechCrunch I wouldn’t be able to find interesting and sometimes crazy new web appls.
I just love reading this site and see all the creative people out there

Do we really need this? Who wants to know what I am doing all the time?

Here’s a SMTPTwitter gateway, that lets users post Twitter updates and retrieve their Twitter timelines via a cellular phone or other e-mail enabled mobile device without incurring SMS fees. It has some neat features like the ability to direct message people on your friend’s list by emailing them at ‘yourfriend@emailtwitter.com’ without any weird ‘d username’ syntax, you can register your source e-mail address (to post Tweets without putting your login/password in emails), retrieve your timeline on-demand via e-mail, etc.
