Twitter Tags?
I’m a sometimes user of twitter. thing is, when you start recommending the ideas behind such a service, something like pownce comes along. such is the importance of recommending the idea to customers, rather than the service itself….
back to twitter though. i would probably subscribe to more tweets if i could turn the banality off. at the expense of losing a few characters off each message, i would quite happily not receive messages that have been tagged as such.
as a potential business service, this would be a basic requirement.
I’d recommend taking a look at Jaiku Kevin. Eventhough I prefer Twitter for ‘social ambiance’ I find Jaiku a little more business like, perhaps due to the focus available through custom channels. Bernie Goldbach has also been noting the difference between the two – http://topgold.jaiku.com/presence/6737998
Think you’re probably right – dammit, another api….
do you find twitter easier to explain to people though? 8)
