[...] it gains popularity. The only real problem right now is the limited number of users participating (think Twitter back when it was “twttr”). On the other hand, as my buddy Tom pointed out, one has to wonder how scalable the platform [...]

Even 10 cents an SMS is a lot for something Odeo wants you to use everyday. Sure, we could blame the telcoms for making them so expensive (or charging at all), but I still say it’s dumb for them to try to build a business model on top of something that is already too expensive. Oh well.

Yeah, I agree. I'm no fan of the twttr logo.. or name. I assume it stems from how Odeo has this infatuation with birds and twttr is an alteration on the sound a bird makes. And I pay 10 cents per SMS. Chris pays 50 cents each, or so he told me.

SMS? It would be nice if SMS was free.

And twttr wins the award for worst logo ever. Wow. Just wow.

Twttr, while interesting, doesn’t really seem to have much of a practical application for me. Sure, it can be fun, but after the initial novelty wears off, why would I want to “bounce” that kind of stuff around?

Hellodeo has been done before, it’s just an attempt to break into the latest fad surrounding online amateur video.

/me looks at yet another “Flickr-esque” name and hurls.

“Twttr is a unique service…”

Google’s Dodgeball does the same thing
