I love e-mails from Ev at Twitter…the microchunking revolution marches on- thanks Sam for driving me nuts with those SMS calls at the Gonzo inspired summit.

I can’t wait to see what Don comes out with the next iteration of SLTWeets.com, as I understand it- something universities and educators like Fleep will love.

FLEEP AND STEVE

Ironically, as an aside, following the initial exposure via a video widget first injected by Steve, multiple Twitter back and forths over months, see timeline, Fleep and I had a brief waltz in the Church of Waltz in Second Life and weeks later she got to (lucky her) hang out late at night and listen to collegues in my social group ramble about pseudo-intellectual things. Even cooler we are meeting up in the educational track at the SL convention this weekend in Chicago (my wife’s anniversary gift)…..I really get excited about twitter/video chain reactions. Anything that makes me cut a video and buy an iPhone is significant- at least for me.

From the team at Twitter…

TWITTER PEOPLE SEARCH

It’s new feature season and we’re starting with People Search. This new Twitter feature is great for finding more people to follow because it searches profile information such as name, location, bio, and url. Come on by and find out if your friends are already Twittering and you just didn’t know it! The search field is on the right side of Twitter when you sign in:

TWITTER & MTV

We’re partnering with MTV for the Video Music Awards next month. They have some fun ideas which involve artists and celebrities including the MTV Moonman twittering from Las Vegas during the whole weekend leading up to the VMA broadcast on Sunday, September 9th. Also, Twitter’s gonna be on TV! We’re looking forward to it. The artists who will be joining Twitter are popular and you can get their updates by following the Video Music Awards
on Twitter.

NELSON, EX-GOOGLER, is NOW A TWITTER DUDE

Speaking of celebrities, the genius behind Google’s Search API is Nelson Minar. Nelson left Google a while back but joined Twitter months ago as a permanent advisor. Nelson continues to provide us with engineering advice, helps us work through scaling and infrastructure details, and in general brings more engineering “gravitas” to our operation. Nelson is a such valued part of the Twitter team we gave him an iPhone preloaded with all our phone
numbers.

So yeah, Nelson rocks. http://twitter.com/nelson

End of Mail……Emphasis added by me- excited by Twitter- where you can catch me…on your own schedule- that is the point.
