In the hopes that someone here has kids or grand-kids, those rugrats either know about what i’m going to let you in on or it hasn’t hit their school/campus yet to the point they can’t socially exist without it.
Twitter will be a thing of the past soon as a new twitter-esque social network/microblogging service has emerged to a more mainstream prominence lately.
It’s called Tumblr
It’s been around for a couple of years but 2009 is when it started coming into it’s own. Check it out and play around with it.
I made mine and it’s in the blogroll as “American Pirate”. It’s a more personal touch if you actually give a shit about what shennanigans i’m getting into next. I say that only because today is a day of “student activities” in NYC being run by SDS (tee hee!) so stay tuned….
But, mark my words, 2010 is gonna be a big year for Tumblr.
Think Iran’s Twitter Revolt was impressive? Imagine if they had unlimited characters to text, ability to post photos and video on the fly, and even “geotag” where it was happening for those keeping an eye on developments…..or, I dunno, Human Rights groups needing evidence to collect about abuses….ahhh technology 🙂
