Twitter & Justin.tv
Wednesday, March 28, 2007
So I've read all the latest buzz on Twitter and signed up last night for an account. I have entered a few things in there and at first didn't much care for it. But as I have thought more about it, I kinda see a use for it. I see it as a way to look back and see what you did day to day. And if people want to keep track of you then that is cool too but I see it was more of a tool for myself. Kinda like a time capsule. I don't know how I will continue, IF I will continue, to use it but it's a cool idea.
Now onto my fellow Justin, Justin.tv, who has an interesting idea. If you don't know what it is, here's my description. It's almost a live Twitter for the world to see. He's a guy from San Francisco who strapped a mini-camera to his head and feeds the video on his site for the world to see. I don't know how long it will last but he sure is getting a lot of press and to make a name for yourself on the internet, that's what you have to do.
I'll stick around Twitter a little while longer and check out Justin.tv a few more times and see if it keeps up. Both interest me but I'm unsure for how much longer.

I checked out the Justin.tv site. Pretty fucking sweet. It is of course a stupid idea in any intellectual sense, but because it is a display of the latest technologies coming together it is considered revolutionary. I think it serves well as a proof of concept and will of course die out as everyone else jumps on the bandwagon. top
