I was recently in NYC visiting the NY chapter of Hacker and founders. I was really surprised at how excited people still were about twitter. The buzz at the meetup was all about twitter and Foursquare.
It's been about 6 months since I heard people at the H&F SV meetups be really excited about twitter. And, while, we're starting to add features on http://newsley.com to include what people are tweeting about a specific stock ticker, that's not really the main impetus of our business. It's more of a value add.
A lot more of the buzz that I hear around the Valley is moble apps. iPhone, iPad, android, especially mobile Geo. That's what the cool kids seem to be doing. Any ideas on why that's different?
It's a good observation, and as a recent Twit I look forward to the evolution of the platform. Did anyone else feel cheapened at the end of the article that made it sound like a plug for Chirp?
