(nerd alert!)

Quick quiz- title of the post… Inspired by “Twitter”, or “Monty Python”?

I’ve been playing around with the twitter API to scrape the public time line for phrases, keywords, etc to build an auto responder back to the original poster… So if someone tweets “I just ate a French fry!” and I was looking for “fry or fries” as a key phrase, then the code could reply “wow really? I love fries”

Also digging into SMS (texting) more. I had created a prototype for church that we used during a recent event, and we got quite a few responses. Now looking at phase II of that, taking a data card into a computer, getting vanity short codes, possible business models, etc…

Also scoping out the “next twiiter” and so far < 15 second “vblurts” or video blurts [might have to be the one to coin that phrase] seem to be positioned as the next social media “thing”. Only real issue being 2-fold. One: you have to have a camera to record the video and two: content… I’m thinking “max headroom” characters would be fun…

There are some other “on the horizon” things buzzing in labs and such, as I can figure how to describe will do.

More updates as things progress…
