Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:53:30 +0000http://whiteafrican.com/?p=2149#comment-7142This is also interesting: “Automatically subscribe to whoever subscribes to me (best for non-humans)”. They are already thinking seriously about “non-humans” on their service… Maybe microblogging will be the first place were we’ll see AI passing the “Turing test”? In the future, we may be just as happy to read “computed” tweets as those from a human being.

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 19:42:31 +0000http://whiteafrican.com/?p=2149#comment-7137I spotted this on Twitter. Not sure exactly what it is…I suppose its a kind of public Microblogging service. I could post messages and comments without having to register.
It allows you to create a unique url for chat streams aswell…judging by the number of posts its still in its infancy but it looks like it could catch on…

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:44:17 +0000http://whiteafrican.com/?p=2149#comment-7136Nigeria has definately got a big mobile internet user base based upon some stats I’ve seen from a few mobile internet sites. However again this is just another ‘owned social network’ with wide ambitions and that train left a long time ago – The future of niche social networking has to be ‘open source social networks’ owned by the communities they serve.
