The web is changing - part 2

A few days ago I already published the post "The web is changing - part 1" and now it's time for the second part. In this part I would like to talk about Twitter. I hope that most of you know what Twitter is, otherwise please check out www.twitter.com.

In the past when something happened it took a very long time to get it know by other people. News was only written on paper or broadcasted on TV and radio. But years ago the first news sites posted the news on the internet. But that's not what I'm trying to tell you.

It's a fact that Twitter can and is used to share news with other people. Like when Gmail is down, you want to know if you are the only one with this problem you can simple search on Twitter. And if nobody has problems you can always tweet "Is Gmail down?" Other people can then reply so you can take advantage of it. But you can also use it to announce different sorts of messages.

Twitter is only text but because you can always link to items you can post pictures, movies and more. Sometimes it happens that you are near a certain place and see something. With Twitter you can share it with the rest of the world in just seconds. And other users can always retweet it.

I also use Twitter and I must say that since a few weeks I use it more and more. And once you start using it in a good way it's a great thing. But please do not ask what my name is on Twitter. I can't follow you all.

One bad thing about Twitter, to end this post, is that it has lots of downtime. But I haven't experienced one in the last month myself. And you can't tweet that. You can only tweet that Twitter is back.

Share ANTSYB with everyone

Since yesterday evening I have changed the template of ANTSYB. A few days ago I added a button to send a certain post to StumbleUpon. But because that isn't the only social bookmarking website on the internet I have changed that. Now you can easily share or save any post that has been posted to ANTSYB in the past.

And if you don't like to read the posts on ANTSYB you can always listen to them. ANTSYB uses odiogo to convert every single post into MP3-files that you can download. Or you could also use the buttons on top of each post. Please note that this will not work for brand new posts.
