We Are All: Twittering Anonymous
This is just a quick experiment: a public Twitter account which everyone can use to post anonymous updates. Simply email your thoughts to we_are_all@twittermail.com and it will appear online. Check this page to see the first results:...
read moreTwitterMSN.com – Just Launched
Almost More than 1000 people use TwitterMail.com right now and more than 4000 messages have been posted to Twitter.com with TwitterMail. Time to introduce something new! Lennaert and Bram have been working on a ‘MSN to Twitter’ service and just launched their product (in beta, of-course) named TwitterMSN.com. I have been testing it today and it works flawlessly. This is another feature that was sorely missing from Twitter.com and it is great that it is available now. Twitter.com also agrees and now adds the...
read moreOpenIdea: Nameo.org
Privacy is overrated. I have said it before and I will say it again. The future of the web is about removing anonymity, not extending it. I love it when I enter my favorite bar and the barman yells “Hi Boris, the usual?”. We want to be known and recognized. Not anonymous. We want our 15 minutes of fame and share our experiences with the world. Arjen told me about an idea to make the web less anonymous. I loved it and persuaded him to let me blog about it in OpenIdea format. So here it is. Like all other OpenIdeas you are free to...
read moreTwitterMail: Live!
After a bumpy ride we can finally declare TwitterMail live. Moving the domain from one server to the other 48 hours before launch wasn’t too smart. Oh well… But it all seems to work fine now! Give it a try if you want and please give me feedback here. So far more than 100 people are using it and we hope this will grow rapidly from now on. And why shouldn’t it? A few tips: - Receive notifications of replies: If someone adds your username to their post we will send you that message via email. - Longer URLs are changed into...
read moreTwitterMail.com – Alive and Kicking
Tomorrow TwitterMail.com will be officially launched. I, and a bunch of other people, have been testing it all weekend and I’m confident it will work just great. The official launch won’t be that spectacular but we do plan to contact some blogs and news-sites and try to get a small buzz going. I will use this post to collect links to articles written about TwitterMail. If I forget any please let me know. The first one: Bright.nl: TwitterMail maakt mobiel twitteren nog makkelijker The first second one: Naweb2.com: twittermail...
read moreTwitterMail.com in 9, 8, 7…
A few months ago I posted an OpenIdea here titled “OpenIdea: twittermail.com” in which I proposed that someone would build a simple ‘email to Twitter.com engine’. It took a while but 3 days ago Lennaert and Bram contacted me with a plan to actually build Twittermail. They started on Sunday and I expect them to finish the whole thing before the end of the week. In fact, it already works but they are adding some extra features and polishing the site. I have been using the service for a few hours now and so far it works...
