Tweet Tweet Tweet! Twitter Everywhere!

I believe Twitter will become a big thing in the coming future. Let me just give you a quick update on Twitter.

Twitter

Twitter is a mini-blog web service. It is very simple but addictive. Not like blog, you don’t need to have a topic and write a long paragraph. You can just say a sentence or two words telling people “what are you doing?”. The messages you post are stored in a timeline stream.

There are a lot of cool mashup applications of Twitter out there on the web, such as twittermap, twittervision, Twitticious, Twitter Planet, Twittercal … and more. Twitter now has a huge number of users and there are some competitors coming out like Jaiku, buboo, fanfou …

Jaiku

One of the biggest competitors is Jaiku. Jaiku is similar to Twitter but it has more features. I tried to use Jaiku on my PC and on my mobile phone but I don’t like to use it very much. Jaiku has developed a mobile application (Symbian) for Nokia S60 phones.
