Things that Twitter replaced or improved

April 14, 2008 / Filed under: Twitter

I was thinking about all the things I used to do that would have been perfect for Twitter, had it been invented at the time.

These are some scenarios that Twitter replaced or improved:

  • Extremely concise emails such as "Hi, how are things? -Matt"
  • Incremental, redundant blog posts about being somewhere or doing something inconsequential, ie: "I'm at the Field Museum. Should be a good day."
  • Fudging with your wireless device in an attempt to load your entire HTML blog admin page, just to write a few sentences of a post, while on the go.
  • Indirect text messages: "mmm just had pizza. It was tasty."

What other scenarios has Twitter replaced or improved, for you?
