Chatroulette Couldn’t Get It Up

At one point the Chatroulette V.2 anticipation was so thick over at TechCrunch HQ that even we were, how you say, premature. But not as premature as the folks over at Chatroulette themselves, who ominously lured us in yesterday in with, “The experiment #1 is over for now.

So Now Facebook Has Check-Ins — What About Twitter?

At an event on Wednesday, Facebook unveiled Places, their new location element that allows users to check-in to venues. Obviously, this mimics the core feature of smaller startups like Foursquare, Gowalla, Loopt, and dozens of others. The move of the big boys into this space was inevitable, but it is somewhat surprising that it has taken this long.

Senh: I’m glad that I currently don’t get too many check-in’s on my twitter stream. I don’t find them useful at all. I use Facebook to keep in touch with people, and Twitter as pretty much an RSS reader and marketing tool. It makes more sense on Facebook, but not really on Twitter. Still, now that Facebook is doing check-ins, I doubt Twitter will be waiting too long to launch theirs.

Senh: These geolocation check-in sites/apps have been growing in popularity. I've seen a couple on my Twitter account. Still, I'm hesitant about using it. It's starting to get creepy. It's also beginning to be like The Matrix where everyone starts interacting in the virtual world instead of the REAL world with these virtual places.

Twitter hoping people will press its tweet button

Tweeting your favorite stories may be getting a little easier. Twitter introduced Thursday a "tweet" button that websites can place alongside their content. The button serves as an invitation to Twitter's legion of users to share what they're reading without having to copy and paste the Web link.

Senh: I guess since Facebook put out the "Like" button, it's Twitter's turn to put a "Tweet" button. The only thing is it's kinda redundant to Tweetmeme's retweet button, which a lot of websites, including this one, are already using.
