It’s funny how this little thing has become popular in the last weeks. You can basically see it as an MSN status on steroids, with history, or SMS applied to blogging.
So here is how it works:

  • You post from any place (a web page, a web widget, a mobile phone, a firefox extension, a mac app…) a quick status of what you’re doing, your mood where you are… or anything you want that is textual & short
  • Your have an URL like this: http://twitter.com/florent where anybody can catch-up with what you’re doing
  • Friends can subscribe to your page and get its content in RSS feed or through many other means

So, what makes it a peek? I think people are fed up doing long posts, it’s been designed to be as ubiquitously accessible as possible, it’s (almost) new!

Wouldn’t this make a great mobile widget? Stay tuned, more next week for more news about mobidgets & friends!

As always, give it a try to see if that’s your thing ;)
