Remember the old glory days of chat rooms? Back before the spam bots, back before AOL when the program was called WoW, back before everyone KNEW that only pedophiles used chat rooms? Those were good times and you know what? THEY ARE BACK?
What? Where? What is this chat room where no one is spamming A/S/L IM ME LOL!!!!
Twitter. Twitter is chat room 2.0 – The new features you get out of this chatroom include:
- Only allowing people you like/know as part of your chat room
- Not needing to sit in front of a scrolling text that erases if you leave
- Can chat from your phone
- Everyone is always a part of the chat even if they aren’t around they will see what you said later
Twitter is great for these reasons. Sure it doesn’t have the features and extras like Pownce does – but if there is one thing we have learned from Google – simple sells. There is nothing about Twitter to confuse you. It really is just “What are you doing.”
I don’t think Twitter ever intended to be the new chat room… I’m pretty sure they saw that “what are you doing” feature on Facebook, thought it was cool and just jacked that idea. No matter how it came about or what it started as – it is now chat room 2.0
If you’re not a part of this great chat room go sign up and follow me!
Not to mention that industry leaders/internet ‘a-listers’ are a part of it and are actually in the conversation.
It’s amazing the amount of people whose minds you’re able to probe on a daily basis.
