Combining short, Twitter-like messages with instant updates via custom push technology, Rejaw may have hit the sweet spot at the intersection of dead-simple, web-based microblogging and conversation.

Owning Your Content With some websites you need to agree to Terms of Service pages far too long to read, selling your soul, and your creations, to the website operators. Not so with Ego. There are no Terms of Service beyond three simple rules: No Pornography, No Illigal Material, and the unicorns may remove content they feel inappropriate.

Do micro-blogging, share video, audios and pictures on Zugme- Social Media Website

I look forward to seeing how it all plays out for Digg. I still see much potential for it. If they just change it to be like a Twitter just for links and make it easy for anyone to post to it, they could get back a lot of users. They do need to reinvent themselves and I think there hype capital from a few years back could still benefit them very much.

I guess this was inevitable, after all the newspaper industry has been called the "dead tree industry" for some time now (dead also indicating it's a dying industry). But as Ms. O'Dell says, "news as a commodity isn't going anywhere" and this only means that the NY Times is further transitioning into a tech company. Interesting times for the news industry.

Once upon a time, Shervin was viewing one of his friend's home timeline, and he discovered a lot of interesting tweets/people that he'd never seen in his own Twitter. So he thought: why shouldn't we allow people to view each other's timeline? It's a great opportunity for extended information discovery and consumption!
