The iPhone make a particularly cool Twitter client because it's always there and makes it easy to incorporate photos and even current geo-location data into my tweets (i.e., Twitter posts). I've been working with Bill French (@bfrench) since 2000, first as colleagues at Starbase, then as co-founders at MyST. Very quickly, I came to understand that Bill offers a window into my technological future. We're both techno-geeks, but Bill always gets his mind around new technologies first. So, when Bill told me, a computer eon ago (a year or so), that he was looking at Twitter and that it was destined to become an important technology, I believed him but did not dive right in. Well, about a month ago I took the Twitter plunge and now understand that, true to form, Bill was spot on. I'm still not a super active tweep ("Twitter person") but I have started and I'm finding it very engaging. I use Twitter both on the web from my various computers and on my iPhone. The iPhone make a particularly cool Twitter client because it's always there and makes it easy to incorporate photos and even current geo-location data into my tweets (i.e., Twitter posts). Twitter also has a very complete web services API (application programming interface) which I've spent some time playing around with. My head is already buzzing with ideas about how to leverage Twitter within the MyST Blogsite®, Topic Cloud®, and MyST Web Services platform. If you use Twitter (or even if you don't--yet), you can follow me @faseidl. I look forward to seeing you online. |
