A New use for Twitter

Posted in Net stuff with tags on April 16, 2009 by iNOsaint

Twitter, the nano blogging service started in 2006-2007, has ever since then been in the news; maybe for its pros and cons. Its emerged as a more speedier of finding out about the latest events going on as tweeters the world over addictively tweet their thoughts on their profiles.
I was introduced to Twitter by Karthik , who had joined the service and I got hooked slowly. With the huge amount of applications available to make tweeting easier soon after its release , Twitter turned into a global phenomenon. There were other twitter imitators of which hardly any have actually enjoyed the fame and usage that twitter has. The usage was so high that some months back twitter servers were constantly down and this made a lot of people try alternatives but as soon as twitter was back to normal the people were back.
The reason that am writing the post is because recently I came across the new use of twitter, that is it along with twitpic acts as an efficient quiz blog. Take Tquizzer for example. Its tweets a question a day or so and then it tweets the answer the next day. Answers will be received via DM or direct messages. It prevents other users from checking out about the answers already submitted by other users. A normal quiz blog had this problem that unless the blog comments are withheld for moderation, the comments with the answer will be displayed at the bottom of every post thus perhaps helping others answer. Not that it would be some great sin to do so. But still it spoils all the fun and prevents us from knowing who the real geniuses are. So I welcome this new use of Twitter and am sure it will succeed and we will get to see more such profiles. Cracking the questions will still be tough unless you got the right search engines and a good brain on your side :D

update: just came to know that Tquizzer was started by an online friend Manoj :D

The Ninja Ken : A webcomic about office life, video games, and man love

Ninja Ken is a webcomic we make in a spiral notebook. On an average day Ninja Ken will freeze himself backwards in time to stop the world from seeing Bedazzled. On a good day he saves the world from wearing pants. Come and gorge yourself on our balmy internet humor, it’s all you can eat baby.

Cool!! i found a web comic with some part of my name in it :D

Yeah thats a service that lets you twitter addicts in India to update your online twitter status from sms. It uses a normal 10 digit non-premium number and so you can just send an sms to it as explained in the simple how-to here.

i tried it out and found that the msgs were going through at the local sms rate(1 paisa for me).. am not sure that all of them will be recieved because i couldnt find one of my early morning twitter msg but overall its a better option to chronicle all the crazy things that i do instantaneously :)

follow me here.

Happy twittering :)

This is one of the most well written comics…a graphic novel actually. Hats off to Juan Santapau. Right now the series Unspeakable is going on. Do read. i love it.

p.s. i have been using the Press this feature of WordPress and like it :) i remember i never used this and while trying out Tumblr for Ignitte i had come across something similar there.
