Do you believe in Twitter philosophy?

without comments

Twitter

For those, who are not familiar with Twitter, it is a service for friends & family to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

It’s basically a communication platform where you update your statuses to friends. This service is getting a lot of traction in the community because of it’s simple web and mobile integration. People find this as a phenomenon.

So what’s the Twitter philosophy?
It’s very simple – update your friends about your whereabouts. Twitter is focused on updating your "statuses". It is a free form and one-to-many personal communication medium.

But this platform can be extended to some other domains as well, and can be very cool, and valuable as well. So the philosophy is – update your friends about some of your daily details.

So now I ask my question again, Do you believe in Twitter philosophy?

I do. I highly do. You can follow me here – Adeologue.

How about you?

Are you one of those who are asking "but why do I care to know what you are doing",  or "why should I tell you what I’m doing"?

If you are asking these above questions, then you are human. Seriously. I think every person who first hears about Twitter, probably asks the same questions. It’s very hard to find the "value proposition" when we heard it for the first time.

But believe me, once you start using it, you will start liking it, and at one point, you will get addicted to it.

So coming back to the point, do you believe in this philosophy – of updating your friends about your whereabouts and some interesting activities?

As I said, I highly do. Rather, I believe in this philosophy so much that I’m developing a web application which is based on the same philosophy, but in a different domain, with lot of fun, and with tremendous value proposition (I know, every creator says that about his creation, but believe me, when you will use it, you will also find the value in it).

I think I still need some time to announce it publicly, but the basic version is up and running, and few of my friends are testing it out. But still, there are many features that are in the pipeline which will show it’s real value. But I’m not waiting until it get developed completely. I will develop it incrementally based on your suggestions and feedbacks.

BTW, any guess about what I am developing?

Currently, I’m the only developer, designer, marketer, etc, etc. And I’m actively working on building a team.

If you -

  • are interested in starting a startup (not that "I also want to start" interest, but the real persistent interest)
  • believe in Twitter philosophy
  • have entrepreneurial mindset and attributes (Learn what makes you entrepreneurial here)
  • have ability to work insane hard and with  killer dedication
  • have tremendous passion for coding (php) or graphics designing or online marketing
  • like writing or blogging
  • are ready to work without pay, but with substantial equity options till the idea hits the ground

then shoot me an email at aditya.kothadiya AT gmail DOT com with your background, and some impressive notes.

I am very interested in talking with you. We can chat and decide what we can do.

Atleast, send me an email, and we will be friends!
