Twitter Makes a Big Splash by Dave Park "The Maverick Builder"

For only being a single website it sure has made a splash. Although it shares some of the same ideas as Facebook or MySpace and Blogger its incredible ease of use coupled with its limit of one hundred and forty character micro posts this user generated website is breaking all kinds of records. Twitter has also been making a lot of news so if you haven't been keeping up here is what you have been missing.

Due to Twitter allowing third party users to create applications to complement the websites experience for its user's big names have gotten on the band wagon. It may be old news that people have been tweeting from their iphones and Blackberry but things may really start to get out of hand with Twitter if "Twiiter" (that's with to letter "I's") the Wii game console based "Twitter like" application becomes integrated with the actual Twitter web site. You can see how far they have actually come by visiting the Twiiter web site at http://twiiter.wiioperasdk.com/ .

When we see more people Tweeting from their living room after losing a game of Wii golf we may see more news like the kind we heard in early April when Demi Moore popularity on Twitter was credited saving the life of a suicidal women who tweeted "I'm just wondering if anyone cares that I'm gonna kill myself now" which may have gone unnoticed if it was not for Demi's reply "Hope you are joking." Due to Demi's huge following on Twitter it was noticed and several people looked at the profile of the suicidal woman and finding her address they contacted the authorities in San Jose her home town and police immediately came in and took her to the hospital for evaluation.

With all that outpouring of cyber help it makes one wonder if or when something goes wrong with the space shuttle instead of relying on NASA to solve all of the problem maybe soon the Twitter community will be better equipped unless they are distracted by playing the new game, "Dead Space Extraction" for Wii due to be unleashed on the public this fall.

If you would like to follow what is really going on roughly 375 miles, or 600 kilometers above our heads you'll want to follow New York astronaut Mike Massimo who will be working on the real Hubble telescope. You can follow Mr. Massimo on Twitter at http://Twitter.com/Astro_Mike as he takes off. Mike also plans to be tweeting from outer space during his mission periodically.

Let's hope there are just no Tweets on reentry like the ones that shocked the world from Mike Wilson aka http://Twitter.com/2drinksbehind when his plane made an unscheduled landing on the Hudson river early this year.

Mike arguably became the first person in history to serve as several national news agencies "credible news source" by texting tweets from his cell phone from the crash site before and while rescue attempts were still in progress. Turning Twitter not only into something news agencies talk about but also a place people are turning to get News First.

Maverick Rules!
