Do you remember when you were looking for some information you would have to go out into the rain and walk to a ‘Library’, and look at ‘Periodicals’, ‘Newspapers’ and ‘Books’ for hours, while a condescending 312 year old Bride-of-Dracula library assistant screamed “Silence!” at you every time you breathed or turned a page?
Do you remember having to ask your Mum permission to use the phone? If you actually had a phone that is…some of us didn’t you know.
I remember all these things, and I totally worship the computer age, the availability of information, and all this simple communication. Thank you ‘The internet’.
“Why?” I hear you ask, am I taking you all a stroll down Rememberry Lane?
Well it is all very simple really…It’s all about Twitter.
I will admit it took me a little time to buy into the whole Twitter thing (as it does for anything not associated with ‘real’ objects like books and telephones that weigh in at a cool 40 Kilograms (see the first paragraphs)) and when we started developing our own Twitter Mobile application I did feel that it may well just be a passing phase.
Of course the knowledge that I was wrong (again) cheered me up no end…but the fact is that Twitter is here to stay, and is anything but a simple fad, and that’s a good thing.
The fame that Twitter that has been vicariously granted through simply being used by the famous (well, we never stop hearing about them and their antics so its maybe the same thing) has created this Twitter Monster, so thank you Chris Moyles, Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry, you are all forgiven.
Keeping this in mind we have decided, in our ineffable wisdom, that we will produce Twitter Mobile Version Two rather than upgrading Version One from Beta to General Release.
Why? Because Twitter is and is going to be HUGE! We are producing Version Two so that we can handle many, many more devices and give more of you guys out there a chance to download this wonderful, classy, and above all, free application; and with much, much more going on under the bonnet I can assure any potential Twitter Mobile Users out there that, no matter how outstanding Version One is, Version Two is going to be GREAT!
Check it out. TwitterMobile.
