New cool stuff about Twitter

I was mind blown this morning, after I found a twitter user who opened an account 5 hours ago, had only two updates on it (not even very interesting ones) and he already had 431 followers. An example of what beer does to the world.

Speaking of which, there’s two twitter-inspired services which are now available as well:

• Foamee (Romanians will at least smile reading this word)
• Jott

Do You Owe Someone A Beer?

Foamee.com is a fun IOU system built on Twitter that helps you track who you owe beers to (and vice versa). All you have to do is follow the account “ioubeer” and then send it @replies. So, say you owe me a beer for helping you change a flat tire, this is what you’d send to Twitter:

@ioubeer @biz for helping me change that flat tire

Then, your IOU will show up on the front page at foamee.com. There’s even a way to tell it when that beer has been redeemed. Foamee is part of a growing list of interesting applications that interact with Twitter.

Jott, for example, has created a way to send a Twitter update by speaking into your phone–your voice gets
converted to text and sent out to all your followers. This is a much safer solution for people who insist on updating Twitter when their attention is required elsewhere–like driving!

Happy twittering!
