- Interesting product decision. They knew you could game the "scoreboard" easily, but didn't care. That's probably why they went ahead with it, to encourage Twitter bragging about...
- Sure, money does change the equation. We have a similar dynamic among teams that have lobbied large groups to use Connect. We have no marketing and rely on viral adoption. So, when large orgs/teams...
- Thanks for the tip.
- Heh, yeah. Fieldrunners was one of my fave games. If you like it, you'll love StarDefense, a 3D tower defense game. See if you can beat my all-Twitter high score of 72 waves on Rydhon! You can...
- You're in an interesting situation, since your customers do not directly pay to use your product (although perhaps the Oracle accountants allocate costs to users in some internal way). I'm...

I’ve spent a bit of quality time with Noel’s OraTweet this week, mostly because of Ed’s OpenSocial app development adventures.
Noel really has done a lot with OraTweet since June, when he first showed it to me. It’s got all the Twitter features y ... Continue reading »

Also, the 140 character constraint shouldn't apply to user names, due to their length IMHO.
Can't wait to do OS and roll it into my Connect home page.

So, +1 for 140. I would apply it only to the message payload, since the handles are longer, or bump it up to accommodate them, but not too much to keep it brief.

Freindfeed allows for more and I don't see too many uber huge posts.

Hmm, someone else suggested that recently. Now who could that have been?

Not being fully clued up on all this Twitter stuff, perhaps I can ask; if OraTweet adds groups and (possibly) the ability to Tweet specifically at a certain person, then doesn't it begin to converge with IM and the Chat Rooms therein, or some sort of IRC? As far as I can see it's just the web interface and possible phone/SMS integration that differentiates it.

Another difference: RSS allows you to eavesdrop on a stream without participating, making it a good status collecting application.
It definitely has useful applications inside the firewall, and I'm sure someone will come up with new ways to use it, e.g. as a bot like Firebot.

1) Grouping my own contacts so I can listen to channels and control the noise. Twitter doesn't do this, but TweetDeck does. This is a UI problem.
2) Group tweeting, e.g. AppsLab, means membership and probably privacy controls. Think of groups in Connect, public or private with members. Join the group and you receive any tweets @ that group. Your solution now meets the public side of this, but not the private one that I can tell.
3) Tweeting as a group is lower on my list since it hides the identity of the tweeter, but it would be useful for broadcasts and information.
We can discuss more if you like. You might want to get Matt Topper involved too, since he's been using Twitter for a long time and has enhancements to it in his head.
