I may never need to write a software application again! It turns out that flavors of two ideas that I had have already been done (sort of). The API to twitter is so easy and intuitive, applications are popping up all over. In fact, twitter is actually a part of a sub dimension of the blogosphere that I (would) call the twitterverse (if twitterverse wasn’t something else, but more on that later) or maybe the twalaxy.

Stepping back: Direct marketing guru and Internet junkie, Gregory Ng, introduced me to twitter. After a couple of days of use, I got the general gist of it, but I really wanted to figure out what I could learn from it. After all, this was really close to my dream of being able to work all day mining AIM or MSN conversations and then return home with my 6 friends to our dark haired princess who washes our clothes and makes us supper. I just want to learn how to serve you better. I promise I am only quasi-evil!
