Today In Twitterverse: Emo Joe
Emo Joe explains why Twitter makes sense to him. No longer am I bound by the crushing social psychosis unleashed by millions of glittering and obtrusive MySpace profiles. No longer must I yield to those insipid Facebook pokes, quizzes and 25 random things. No longer will I be confronted by another invasive and unbecoming photo tag that always shows me at my worst. With Twitter, I escaped from a slow, man-sized iron …

Today In Twitterverse: Make It Matter Or Make It Go Away

Today In Twitterverse: Coupon Finders
CheapTweet and CouponTweet are mentioned in a SmartMoney article on companies utilizing social media to offer price incentives to customers--a very prudent use of the platform, in my opinion. I think we'll see many more Twitter aggregators like the two above. It's simply too hard to find things in the stream. The incoming Tweets come in at a random and rapid pace.

One of those restaurants is Kogi Korean BBQ, a mobile operation that fuses "the taste of Korean BBQ with the portability of tacos and burritos." Since they operate from a mobile kitchen, customers check Twitter for their present location and …
