I stumbled across a rather neat interface for viewing Twitter posts earlier on. For those not on the ever-so-trendy edge of web2.0 social networking sites, Twitter is an er… hmm. It lets you make short updates to your status. Updates like “I am about to murder my postman, he didn’t ring the doorbell again!” It lets you subscribe to people’s updates with your instant messenger or your mobile phone or syndicate them on your blog. It’s not terribly dissimilar to Facebook’s “I am” status box Anyway, the interface is called Twittervision and lets you view live twitter posts from around the world. It’s like watching people shouting at each other across continents.
On a more local shouty scale, the next person in my office to leave their mobile phone at their desk and go for an extended wander whilst leaving it to ring and ring and ring is going to find it placed in a Jiffy bag and mailed back to them second class.
