Twitter Again!

I had planned to get the 1000 post on the blog. However, I think people in this class might be more interested in knowing the updated development of Twitter. 

News 1: Twittering Celebrities Take Fans Backstage In Their Lives. Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore sent text updates to fans via Twitter. They also posted pictures by TwitPic at the post-Oscar Party.

News 2: 12Seconds Team With TweetDeck, Enhances Third Party API. With the video Twitter, the user can both record and send the 12 seconds video clip. 

More and more powerful applications are integrated into Twitter and make Twitter the only choice of getting and sharing the real-time information through text, messages, photos, and now rich media. And more and more people, including celebrities in Oscar are using Twitter in an unexpected way. You can see Twitter is on the news literally EVERYDAY ranging from the specialized website (TechCrunch) to mainstream authoritative publisher (NYTimes). I won't conclude that Twitter will become mainstream applications but It is likely that 2009 will be a memorable year for Twitter.
