Here’s an interesting take on the confluence of geolocation and Twitter (how much more fashionable can you get?): the messages you post on the service are received by everyone in a 500-yard radius around you. You don’t follow people or anything, you just see what people around you have to say or ask — which, now that I think about it, kinda boils down to a chat window in an MMO.
I think the stupid name and the iPhone-centricness (there are other geolocating phones, you know) of nrme aren’t going to help much, but I can’t wait for other people to steal that idea and improve on it. If you can mark the local gold farmers as spam.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
