sustainable transitional web apps for the future
Ben Metcalfe wrote in a twitter a couple of weeks ago that “the way that twitter currently works doesn’t scale”.
I think that’s my problem too. twitter doesn’t scale, not technically and not as a mobile community either. solely on web – it’s great – but I want the twitter messages on my phone without having to have my phone on mute because I recieve around 300 messages from twitter a day. is there a way to make twitter more sustainable ?
my heart belongs to Jaiku these days – largely because of their new design -because as a webbased community – it’s absolutely stunning for conversation… it has everything “me” just because of the total rss feed integration. it’s simple, functional and impulsive. I lack the mobile integration though because my lovely nokia n70 can’t really cope with the jaiku mobile beta.
so is there a way to make a community on web/mobile that doesn’t evolve sms’es but has the community of twitter and “me” because of the rss feed integration ?
I have proposed a talk on transitional web apps for reboot 9 – would a talk about these apps be interesting?

I don’t know cervus – because I simply haven’t heard the word oximoronic before – but you might be right – the talk is not going to be called sustainable transitional though..

hi cervus looked it up (somewhere elsewhere than my totally outdaited dictionary)- I understand what you mean now, but by sustanaible transitional I mean sustainable in a way that the web apps will be prepared for transitions in the future – and probably transitions on a day to day basis.

I’m saying it here as well then – imity.com – i know it has some issues but that is as close to all mobile as i have found it…
or am i wrong ? -
Hi KÃ¥re – well Jaiku has the imity function to its mobile app as well –
but I like imity =) and thanks for your comment on my talk at the reboot page
sure that’d be interesting, but “sustainable transitional” is a bit oximoronic, don’t you think?
