Fun With Twitter
December 4th, 2008
I think of Twitter as a mash up of instant messaging, IRC, and the web. It's a great tool for keeping abreast of the global technical sphere and a great place to connect with people from your local community. The flexibility of Twitter, it's growing user base, and it's APIs are probably what has accelerated its use.
A couple neat examples of the flexibility of Twitter that I've seen are:
- Mo Kahn using Jott to transcribe his phone messages to twitter text
- A sensor for your house plants that broadcast their water health
- A Continuous Integration server module that notifies the software development teams of a failed build
What innovative uses of Twitter have you seen or do you use?
