Twitter is the darling of the blogosphere, as we all know. Last week, it was even speculated that Google was in late-stage discussions to buy the micro-blogging service.
But Twitter may just be yesterday’s news. After all, reading a tweet is starting to become time consuming in today’s real-time world.
So, now, there’s Flutter. A new service for those who want to flap, rather than tweet. The service allows people to post 26 characters. “I think a lot of people don’t have time to Twitter… it takes too long to compose a message of 140 characters,” said Zak Ryman, CEO of Flutter. “We limit our users’ posts – or flaps – because it’s like hummingbird’s wings flapping, which is really fast, which is faster than a regular bird’s tweets.”
OK. This new service is clearly a spoof on Twitter. Watch the video.
