My blog, when I post an entry, it Tweets my account of that new entry. Twitter is becoming a fast growing community on the Web. We shall see what else Twitter will come out with and allow you to use or do.

I want to check to whom and how many followers i have sent direct messages. Is there any tool to do so?

I think TwitBlogs is a good idea. I think Twitter is to busy getting big to worry about small companies using a name similar to their name. I think in the future they will only go after websites who use the word Twitter in the url not just something similar.

I tried it, its simple and could be useful for some folks who don't actively maintain blogs.

Hmm. Much has already been covered above, including intellectual property rights and comparisons of SM applications. So, "a simpler proposal: post longer Twitter messages, add multimedia and post a link on your Twitter?"

Well, maybe... I prefer Blogger for its built-in SEO angle, but I don't post there too often. I prefer Twitter's brevity and simplicity for most (micro) blogging. I prefer using TweetDeck over TWhirl, and there are other 3rd party app's I haven't tried yet! I'm willing to give any SW a fair test run.

As for "archiving," I prefer to actually delete *old* posts when they're no longer relevant. Helps to focus my content for new followers, clears out the clutter, and helps the geeks balance the load on their servers during such rapid growth. I don't need archives; I use the old Notepad (ascii). I like the comparison above of "IM-cum-usenet." Who else here remembers USENET? That was useful back in the day, before spam prevailed over it!

Echo. ;-)

Tumblr doesn't autopost to Twitter, and to my knowledge, neither does Soup.io (though I haven't tried it recently ;-))

However, Posterous.com autoposts to Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, and any major blog platform (including Wordpress, Typepad, Blogger, Livejournal and Xanga). Plus it works all over email.

We also host and transcode and host video, audio, and post image galleries (of unlimited size).

So if you like automatically posting to twitter, and use some other stuff, and like rich media, use posterous.com. =)

Clicking through to view just a longer version of a tweet seems a little annoying. What if there was integration with programs like Twhirl and TweetDeck so that they can display the longer tweets without requiring you to click through?

what makes twitter useful is not that it lets you get your 2000 word diatribes about the traffic you just dealt with off your chest. quite the opposite. it is bite sized pieces of info that make it easier for people to FOLLOW your musings. and the musings of hundreds (or thousands) of others. it can be easily updated and scanned within 5 minutes. if you need an outlet for longer prose, there are more than enough outlets available. while followers will abide a few meaningless 140 char posts, the will drop a twitblogger that is equally dull, but longwinded.

Thanks Peter for the review. We are officially launching on Monday at Europe's largest twitter party - www.twinterval.com Thanks everyone for the comments.Feedback is always good.

FYI: Twitblogs was built in just three weeks and this is a really just an alpha. That said it has been designed for enterprise scalability. Its built on Solaris, MySQL and Apache plus we are using Zend PHP not Ruby. We have also used Anazon's S3 for image storage and CloudFront for rapid content delivery.

As for Twitter, they are very aware of us and have whitelisted twitblogs. Equally Fred Wilson their biggest VC has also seen twitblogs. We are a complimentary service to twitter not a competitor.

In the coming weeks we will start to add in the type of features that I hope people will find useful such integrated search, groups and openid support. Some of the other really exciting features I cannot reveal today but once twitter turns on the new API with oAuth support we will have a host of functions ready.

If you want to keep you to date with twitblogs pls follow us on twitter - @twitblogs.

I use http://storytlr.com to backup my tweets (and everything else), it also works as a lifestream and a blogging platform. Definitively worth a look if you compare to tumblr, soup.io and the likes.

I believe the beauty of twitter and the reason why it's a success is largely due to the 140 characters limit. Many blog platforms offer "follow feature" now but none of them has been able to popularize and use the feature like Twitter.

And I wouldn't want a Twitter + Blog. I prefer the way it is now, Twitter and Blog.

Re: Twitter + Blogs = TwitBlogs!

Lucretia Pruitt — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 23:11:42 -0000

Honestly? The reason I prefer Twitter over "longer form" platforms like Pownce, Tumbler, FriendFeed, [insert one of dozens here] is that it does force people to get to the point.

All that taking the 140 character limit away does is encourage people to blather on for longer than they would otherwise.

Can't see using a service that loses the strength of twitter but doesn't have the functionality of a full-blown blog. So nope, not staying on my radar.

Seems to be a trend. I've been using something similar called TwitWall.com which serves as something between Twitter and a blog post. Too much for a 140 character tweet and not enough substance to warrant a full fledged blog post. Here's a sample of my twitwall.
http://twitwall.com/view/?w...

I think Twitter just needs to buy one of these guys and add the option. We would have the option to just read the 140-character tweet or click through to the longer message like TwitWall does.

Twitter + Tumblr + Blogger pretty much covers all the bases, i.e., desired levels of detail.
