Hi, Good blog you have here. I wanted to let you all know that I think Twitter is going to be one of the stronger networks because of the fact that it is supported by so many industries. I also think when Twitter reveals some of it’s new functions, returning traffic will go up to show the real growth of the network.

Anyway, I build a blog that offerers great resources for Twitter that are 100% free, so come and visit and don’t be a stranger.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the comments Thomas.

So although I agree regarding the simplicity and lack of functionality on the web interface of Twitter, I’m not sure I’d call it the “standard interface”. Twitter exists with the purpose of being the medium and not the client. It always boasted mobile access and there are numerous clients for all mobile platforms (BlackBerry included).

As for your comment about feedback control, I completely agree. My article was more related to the one directional “notification” or “information” trend that is being associated with Twitter and other social networks. I do fully agree that a full enabling the appliances would be more useful, private and secure.

Great blog by the way.

Cute idea to use Twitter as message broker for all those applications. Jay Black (uwaterloo Prof) actually found several applications in pervasive computing using Jabber about a decade ago.

However, the issue that I see with twitter is, that the standard interface (i.e. webbrowser) will not be enough for particular applications. First, you need something that is extensible and can go mobile (I don’t know if a simple Java API is available for Twitter on Blackberries).
In addition think about feedback control. Just sending out status updates is lame, actually enabeling your coffee brewer/garage opener might be easier. This also brings in issues of security and privacy but that can be handled by the applications.
