New uses for Twitter are being blogged about everyday. Here’s a great post from TechCrunch on how to organize spontaneous meetings in SecondLife. Makes sense and takes advantage of SecondLife’s emerging role as a group collaboration tool.
…Last Saturday night I noticed that Australia’s answer to Robert Scoble (in a good way) Microsoft’s Nick Hodge was in Second Life chatting to The Podcast Network’s Cameron Reilly via Twitter. I jumped into Second Life to join the conversation, making it the three of us. I Twittered my presence and provided a link. Within 30 minutes three had blown out to around 15 people, or 20 different people over 3 hours.
What’s twitter? Twitter is a free social networking and "micro-blogging" service that allows users to send text-based posts — no bigger larger than 140 characters — via SMS, instant messaging or email to the Twitter website. These posts are displayed on the user’s Twitter page and are also delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them.
