Twitter needs to innovate in the coming ~2 years to stay ahead cc @scobleizer @TravelingDad @elysetager

Twitter wasn't envisioned to do the things we now see it could: As I said before Twitter can & must do better. They will have to innovate to stay ahead of new services popping-up in the future that take the Twitter concept to a next level; based on all the knowledge we now have on what we can do with a Twitter-like communication architecture.

Twitter has already built up a large following and will thus be hard to overpower, but they shouldn’t wait to find out what will happen in my opinion!

I’m writing this Three Tweets post because I’m already thinking for a while to write a longer post about this on web2society and got triggered (again J) by a post of @scobleizer, ‘Twitter’s traffic in trouble?’, in which he mentions multiple new feature ideas for Twitter that resonates with my thinking about this, especially when it relates to metadata.

 …to be continued! #cliffhanger

My three-tweet-blog experiment at Posterous

Twitter is fabulous, but when you include links and hash tags in your tweet, how much is left to write real content? Keeping it succinct is good, but sometimes there is just too little space.

So here it is: my Posterous blog experiment, a blog with posts of at most three tweets in length: too much for Twitter too little for a 'real' blog post.

Posterous will be the content channel and Twitter its meta-data channel!
