Torrent Now on Twitter

After the Pirate Bay launched its Facebook Connect application, the group around TorrentTwitter is planning to combine file sharing with micro-blogging. Now it's clear that torrents will be going mainstream

Given that the largest torrent sites in the world such as Mininova, IsoHunt, The Pirate Bay and others actually are around the Top 100 sites on the Internet, it will be interesting to see how this interactive micro-blogging feature can develop. If TorrentTwitter stays online or doesn't get sued by Twitter for using the concept or name, these guys could propel themselves into the Top 100 sites on the internet.

Even though in beta, TorrentTwitter is really an easy site to use and navigation through the site to a wanted content is easy as having a piece of cake. Using a hash sign for a group is a good old legacy of IRC [Internet Relay Chat] services, not invented by Twitter and looking at TorrentTwitter reminded yours truly of the good old days of combining news groups and IRC channels.

Twitterific Application : What are you doing?

According to Wikepedia, Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts which are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers).

Once you've signed in, the Twitter site immediately prompts you with a question in bold type: "What are you doing?" Below, there's a blinking cursor and a blank white space where you have 140 characters with which to answer. That's basically it.

Is twitter the next big thing in online social networking? We'll see... But more or less it has the potential. Twitter application invades not only computers but other communication device as well. In fact a lot of application can be linked with twitter (more of this on the next posts).

I joined twitter a month ago and so far, I admit, I have not maximize it yet as much as I want to. How about you? Join the next big thing now. Please see sidebar to register or click here.
