There is a Google Alert in my inbox that says AVC.com has linked to a post from this blog Netizen. I feel like Netizen has now arrived as a blog. This is the ultimate compliment.
Curiously I have not been the daily visitor to AVC these past few weeks like I used to be for months before that. I have been too caught up with Reshma For Congress. But I intend to visit when I can.
AVC is a great blog. Fred is a great guy. There is this amazing sense of community at AVC. It is also a NYC thing for me, a hometown thing.

Twitter, FourSquare: Mobile Web Thingies

FourSquare more so than Twitter, but Twitter too. FourSquare was never really meant to be a big screen web thing. Twitter can work on the web, but not FourSquare. But even Twitter, it can be argued, is primarily a mobile web thing. It is meant to be a mobile web thing.
I keep thinking in terms of the Twitter of things. (The Internet Of Things) I think most tweets sent in the far future will emanate not from people but things. Or perhaps there will be a next generation company that will focus on primarily being the Twitter of things. And the "tweets" will not be words at all.
I have been late coming to the mobile web phenomenon. That is rather curious for a Third World guy.
Twitter Blog: Evan Williams: The Evolving Ecosystem: "Twitter is too hard" ..... we were doing users a disservice by not having a great client on each of the major mobile platforms ..... Total mobile users has jumped 62 percent since mid-April, and, remarkably, 16 percent of all new users to Twitter start on mobile now ..... 46 percent of active users make mobile a regular part of their Twitter experience.....while smart phone clients are important, there are even more people who use the mobile Twitter web site and/or SMS. We've been seeing strong growth in both of these areas..... users of programs like TweetDeck are some of the most active and frequent users ..... The number of registered OAuth applications is now at almost 300,000—this number has nearly tripled since Chirp.....we currently have more than 145 million registered users and the performance of our Promoted Products has exceeded our expectations.
