Twitter, Snaz, Snitter, Tweetr and Twitterverse: Absolutely Twitterific!

Do you Twitter?  Are you part of Twitterverse?  I am, and I love it.  If you like blogging, then you will really fall in love with micro-blogging.  Why? Because it’s a faster form of social networking, and you can add it as a widget to your Facebook, MySpace, or Friendster.  With Twitter, you can go global or restrict your “community.” I do the latter, and am lucky to be a part of a group of tech-savvy people from whom I learn--daily.  In fact, all day, if I am online.  Today, from coolcatteacher‘s twittering, I learned about three AIR-based clients for Twitter: Spaz, Snitter, and Tweetr.  If you’ve been clicking the links, by now you realize that all these apps are mashups.  Each client offers a different flexibility that interfaces with Twitter, and each app interfaces with yet more clients, providing almost endless functionality for social networking. 

If you have ever wondered why social networking is so popular, click on the video below.

I liked the Comman Craft Show so much, I added the app to my Facebook, and then did an RSS feed to my NetVibes account, which is my new home page for my PC.  Then I added the subscription to my iPod video, del.icio.us, and BlinkList with just a few clicks.  If you want to know what RSS [Really Simple Streaming] means in “plain English,” I’ll leave you with this parting video. 

Twittercast, anyone?
