It’s Official, My Micro Blog Of Choice Is Facebook And Not Twitter

Seriously, what’s the difference when it comes to micro blogging? They both serve the same goal. In the end Facebook will win anyway because they have more to offer. Besides, most of my friends and my Twitter followers are on Facebook so it’s pointless to have both. I only use Twitter nowadays for RSS feeds but I have a better reader for that.

One advantage I see for Twitter is for entities that are broadcasting messages for public viewing. It’s a good medium for getting your message out to the world. If you’re like me and use Twitter mostly for instant news feeds, look else where.

So Twitter, thanks for the service, you are just another Friendster to me. Now it’s time for me to build widgets and plugins for Facebook.

I Will Leave Twitter For Facebook…

if Facebook opens up their API for personal status updates or at least unblock the RSS feed. I could get RSS feed for friends updates but not my own updates. I believe this used to work before their recent site upgrade. How ’bout make it available again FB?

We just launched the mobile version of Wink. It’s the same url – http://wink.com. All you need is your iPhone, Pocket PC, Treo, Blackberry, or anything that uses Mozilla browser on their phone.

Now you can search for people anywhere you go. Met someone at a party and can’t wait to find more information about them? Step outside, use your phone, and go to wink.com. Having a business meeting and an unfamiliar name came up? Look ‘em up at wink.com. What if your out with your girlfriends and want to check out the latest with Katie Holmes? Go to wink.com on your blinged phone because Wink provides latest news for her as well while viewing Katie’s profile.

Lots of uses for Wink Mobile while your unplugged. If you have a Wink profile, while not show it off to your friends now that you can do it over the air. Don’t have a Wink profile?
