That would be me. What's up? People seem to like it. Here's an email I
got from a happy user:

I am really glad I am beating this girl who lives in my town who my
boyfriend used to think was hot. I am 25 and hate her guts like I'm in
middle school. Thank you for providing me with yet another outlet to
outdo her. My ego has been fed.

I can't make this shit up. I get these every now and then, but this
one is by far the best feedback.

That would be me. I'm glad you like it. I have bigger plans for it but
currently I've been working really long hours at work which has
impeded my ability to do new releases.

THis is what keeps me going. Here's a feedback email from one of my
users:

I am really glad I am beating this girl who lives in my town who my
boyfriend used to think was hot. I am 25 and hate her guts like I'm in
middle school. Thank you for providing me with yet another outlet to

I can't make this shit up. This is just one of many emails I get every
so often. But this is by far the best one.

If you guys have any ideas or thoughts on HotTweeters, I 'd love to
hear it.

Kevin,

 

Totally agree, though not sure he is making much money from it yet, but
FFS lol - nothing is new, it's just recycled.

 

Good on him :-)

Do we really need more sites that create more traffic for Twitter
without a single chance to become a business or help the content
quality? Burning money was fun during the first .com boom, can we please
stop now?

:-) To the point Kevin!

Now to waste time 

We should remember that __investors__ created the pain of the .com by  
applying anti-evolutionary forces i.e.. over investing in lots of Dodos.


However on a technical level we will, like evolution, go through these  
cycles. In the case of Twitter what we will have is maybe a few  
hundred micro-sites created. Of which say 10-15 will be solid ideas  
that last for years, of which they will be consolidated into 1 or 2  
actual sites in the next 5-10 years. This is the history of tech (home  
computer boom anyone?), it's how ideas _evolve_ bring on the boom!!!


The .com boom (outside of the silly financial side) allowed us to  
experiment with a whole bunch of crazy ideas of which a small  
proportion survived and the functionality is still being consolidated  
into a handful of very useful sites today, so it was with social  
networks (and still to an extent is), so it will be with the realtime  
web.


Evolution is messy, it's not rational and not scientific - it's trial  
and error - however in the long run it can be staggeringly efficient -  
human beings out of soup, I mean crikey!!!


So yes, lots more small micro-sites please.

Neil
