Twittervision and Talkshoe
This blog has been quiet for some time, mainly because I have been building a new site that will come soon and this URL will be used for more general stuff. But today I break the silence to mention two cool services. I haven’t heard of TalkShoe before but it was coming on my river of twitts today with Leo Laporte’s announcement that this week’s TWiT was going to be recorded live, the experiment called TWiT Live had Robert Scoble, Doc Searls, Wil Harris and Alex Lindsay.
The cool stuff with TalkShoe is that you can call in and join the conversation, Jason Calacanis - who is moving from blogging to microblogging - called and share some of his thoughts on monetizing Twitter and there are also other interesting discussions proposed by the callers, I haven’t heard Doc since Gillmor Gang’s last episode and it was really good to listen to him again. The interaction got enhanced with another experiment launched today: Twittervision, which is a Google Maps mashup using the Twitter API, that it’s going to make it easier to explain the value potential provided by Twitter.
So today’s TWiT was an interesting experience with comments popping in Twittervision as some subjects were mentioned in the show. My favorite podcast is the Daily SearchCast and they have a chat room to receive feedback when recording the show live, since Twitter is the evolution of IRC I think live shows will need this kind of interaction so we can send our comments from IM. The next step is Twitter meme tracking and personalized views, I am sure someone is working on it right now
