Apr 7 2009Flutter: Twitter's Latest Competition
Is 140 characters too many for you? Feel intimidated by all that space? Then check out Flutter, the latest in social blogging sites. Flutter promises to take Twitter's microblogging to the next level: nanoblogging -- with a limit of 26 characters per post, or "flap". Obviously, the video is a parody. But the really sad part is that it probably won't be for long. *waving junk around like a helicopter* Flap this, scumbags!
Thanks toysoldier, Julian and 3bee, who once sat outside my bedroom window tweeting so loud I almost shot at them with a BB gun.

Its amazing how lazy people are getting. We want EVERYONE to know what we're doing using the least amount of words possible.
Here's mine.

I think this idea is going in the wrong direction. It is just another step to creating a state of "connective disconnection". By taking a sentence and condensing it into a small phrase creates loss not gain.. I enjoy reading and I'm not lazy, therefore you will not see me "fluttering".

Flutter isn't a joke! Its here! Apple is working on a nano blogging site that is in the soft launch stage. It's call iflutter.net. Build your flock and start flapping!
