If someone knows of any webapp that implements a) please let me know :D

I'm putting all the twitter accounts so far together here: http://twitter.com/tipjoy http://twitter.com/danielha http://twitter.com/iamdanw http://twitter.com/codergnome http://twitter.com/jraines http://twitter.com/yansarazin http://twitter.com/lukebrdn http://twitter.com/darreld http://twitter.com/hooande http://twitter.com/nkohari http://twitter.com/timothyandrew http://twitter.com/hasanv http://twitter.com/dcurtis http://twitter.com/webwright http://twitter.com/pkaler http://twitter.com/npost http://twitter.com/rosshill http://twitter.com/avinashv http://twitter.com/bootload http://twitter.com/stejules

And I'll add mine: http://twitter.com/abarrera

I toyed with the idea of implementing it as an actual standalone service without the wiki... but I have too many other "side projects" right now! :)

Here's my twitter account: http://twitter.com/mdesjardins

holler @ me.

Also subscribe to the RSS of your company name (or keyword of choice) at http://terraminds.com/twitter. My favorite Kirigins have Tipjoy on that badboy.

Twitter is neat though -- I'm building a site that will scrape replies to a Twitter user called @rating and put them in a database of ratings. The reply just has to look like this:

@rating 5 "Thing Being Rated" Mini-review goes here.

I'll post it when the battle of Rails deployment is over.

I'm 'jraines' on Twitter and Friendfeed.

But, after much use it's a great piece of technology. It allows you to survey a crowd, use it for emergency purposes (San Diego Fire Dept did just this), learn about what your friends are reading/sharing, where they are going for the evening, how they feel, etc...

I've used twitter from Nov2006. Some of the constraints I don't like:

- how they handle urls [0]

- how they handle people who you like but talk to much [1]

The rest is pretty good. Not too much info, uptime ok (well when I use it) and api is simple & works ~ http://twitter.com/bootload

[0] I don't know a good solution but if google created their own shortcuts like tinyurl the web would be a better place.

[1] stacks of quick posts one after the other why not group them by person after a threshold of say 3?

Not an attack, just a friendly question. I've noticed you do this fairly often.

I agree with [1] though; Robert Scoble is the worst offender, seconded closely by Guy Kawasaki. Bundling messages together would screw up the API and break things like twitterific, probably. I wonder if there's a better solution.

good point, I'll see what I can do.

"... I wonder if there's a better solution. ..."

friendfeed does the obvious thing that is it restricts view to the latest 3 by person so as to not clutter the page. Another idea I can think of would be allow you to select who you want to clamp.

"... Not an attack, just a friendly question. I've noticed you do this fairly often. ..."

to stop adding ellipses (that mess up the text especially if there is a lot of them) allowing you to read. This is especially for links or side notes that relate to the main text but is added interest. Also I use hackernews as a scribble ( http://flickr.com/photos/bootload/sets/72157600280904949/ ) for later posts on flickr

"... Bundling messages together would screw up the API and break things like twitterific ..."

No just the display, not the data itself. Just grab the latest submission. If more submissions occur in "N" minutes time frame just display the latest 3, have a click & fetch more if required. It shouldn't break app using the api doing this. Friendfeed does this well.

They should get the shortest domain names possible. For tiny utls. For the web view. they should just have a single character as a link, like a #.

iv.an is available for 450 euro! Is u.rl available?

I'd like parallel streams, with people that update too much pushed to the sidelines.

Pownce has a good approach to [0] with its enclosures/attachements which can be files, events, etc as well as links.

Though I think that their potential as messaging glue has yet to be realized-- payloads would be a start, as Winer has suggested, incorporating Yahoo Pipes, Twitterfeed, etc, and make twitter the social messaging bus for the entire web.

My hypothesis is that Obvious is working on this stuff (since it's so, well, ovbious!), but isn't ready to release it until they get their infrastructure stuff sorted out, sign up partners, etc.

Who's on tumblr? I'm http://tumblr.iamdanw.com on there

If you care about marketing, learn to use Twitter Track (google it).

I get an SMS every time ANYONE mentions RescueTime on Twitter (friend or no). It's slightly creepy when I immedietely pounce on them and thank them. ;-)

I don't update a whole lot.

But I use Jaiku a whole lot more. Seems to be more of a Vancouver area tech phenomena though. http://pkaler.jaiku.com

http://engtech.tumblr.com -- lifestream, kinda messy

http://rubeh.tumblr.com -- ruby/rails links
