Twitter is the greatest micro-blogging site we have, and I’m addicted to it. By now, there aren’t just twitter clients for almost every browser, but there are a billion smartphone twitter clients. Twitter is everywhere, and everyone is on twitter. But here is the first TechCrunch post, by Michael Arrington on the micro-blogging text messaging service 'twttr'! ‘Odeo released a new service today called Twttr, which is a sort of “group send” SMS application. Each person controls their own network of friends. When any of them send a text message to “40404,” all of his or her friends see the message viasms. This launched officially today, and a few select insiders were playing with the service at the Valleyschwag party in San Francisco last night. People are using it to send messages like “Cleaning my apartment” and “Hungry”. You can also add friends via text message, nudge friends, etc. It really a social network around text messaging – and is very similar to another service called Dodgeball." title="‘Odeo Releases Twttr’- One Of The First Blog Mentions Of Twitter" />
