How often do you twitter? I’m finding myself spending more time on it than ever before. Both of them are easy to handle and cute. Everything about it is so short and sweet, and takes least time to get the best thing done. The best thing implied here is probably a weird thought about a facebook application that I had, or a link to a powerful plugin, or a kickass domain name that just went over my head. We have to admit that on WP, it takes good 15 minutes to do it, while on these cuties, less than 2 minutes? And it’s all so compact and fun!
We all have a liking to tools that are customized and personal right? Some good ones I met recently are these three.
- I like the “Maami” on ibibo, who (reminds me of the Channel V Bai) appears in between and prompts you to fill in your details like address and telephone number. She’s so annoying yet nice with her witty lines. Once she asked me - “You are looking cute in that picture you just uploaded, do you mind giving your telephone number? I promise I won’t call you.” Now I’m sure whoever used that tool enjoyed it. Innovation.
- I also like Tumblr for it’s personalized messages it throws up. When I uploaded a profile pic of mine, it said something along the lines of the ibibo Maami.
- Of course Flickr. Those regional “hello” messages helped me get a name among friends. They thought I traveled to Hawaii and Israel recently.(Shhh!)
For bloggers - There’s this cool plugin that integrates twitter completely with your blog. It’s from Alex King and it’s here(That probably is his 9198423th incoming link.) Another interesting deviation plugin is over here.

I just discovered Tumblr, and, of course, I have know about Twitter for a while, but never really used them for real. Nowadays everybody is talking about these types of social media sites, so sooner or later we all will be joining and using them.

In comparison to tumblr I personally prefer posterous.com
Its far more simple and has a fantastic auto post feature so that I don’t have to post the same thing on different services.
You must try it out.
