I’ve used the copied “status” or “What are you doing?” features on Facebook and Bebo. They are pretty addictive. I’ve been thinking about the micro-blogging thing and how to apply it on my website, or do something with it.

Bebo’s implementation of micro-blogging is poor. You write in the thing, it gets put on all your friends changes pages and on your profile. That’s it. There is no web feed, no way for people to follow your updates, no way for you to see previous micro-posts. What’s the point?

Facebook’s is better, though does go a bit shorter than Twitters. You can get the RSS, people can get updates (I get mine via the Boost extension for Firefox which pops up a little box whenever one of my friends has updated). I can’t update it from anywhere though.

Twitter is basically just like those but more “connected” so to speak. I can post “tweets” by using the website, an extension in Firefox, a software program, a txt message from my cellphone, a program for my cellphone… the whole shebang. Then, you can subscribe to them, or follow them, and get updates via email or txt message.

I’m not going to be one of those that will send out what I’m eating for dinner (last night I had cottage pie) or send random updates (I walked to work from class). In fact, I’m completely unsure what I’ll do with it.

I can integrate it with Daniels.net.nz, have my Twitter account a “personal” one for close friends and create a special version for my website, or what I should post on it. I just don’t know.

But, what I do know, is that whenever I see the Twitter entry in my phonebook on my cell, it gives me the urge to say what I’m doing.
