Dull thoughts in a sharp world.

Alright, I’m taking the jump

So I am going to attempt to consistently use Twitter… damn it.  I have enough distractions as it is.

Here is a cool idea that a friend recommended for Twitter… which is probably already being done.  When people go out, they want to know not only where their friends are, but if the place they are heading to is “happening”.  So he suggested creating a twitter group so people could rate the place in real-time.

For example, when I get to Slide tonight, I would twit “Long time outside… tons of dudes” or “Lots of people at Slide, good crowd” or “Super ghetto Asian”.  And on top of that, I would rank it 1 out of 10, with some relevant tags such as “Sausage fest, Fratty, Empty, Long line or Ghetto”.  This would save people millions of dollars in wasted taxi fairs.

Thoughts?

    That is actually a decent use of Twitter. Normally I consider twitter to be way overkill in terms of information. But, knowing where your friends are hanging out is super convenient. And you would only know if they wanted other people to be with them. Cool..

    Maybe I'll setup a twitter group in Singapore for that same reason. Hmm,..
