Twingr trying to be the new Twitter
With Twitter being so big and powerful in the social networking arena, we have started to see spin-offs like Yammer and now the newest spin-off, Twingr.
With Twingr, you can create your own version of Twitter for any group you like, and Twingr will host it. The service, created by Killer Startups just launched in private alpha and is open to the first 500 micro-blogging communities that get on it.
Like Twitter, you can send out 140-character messages, follow what other people in your Twingr group are saying, and send direct messages to them as well. A nice little change is that Twingr offers a box where you can paste links without taking up any of your allotted characters. TinyURLs are a thing of the past.
If you look at Yammer you will see similarities to that of Yingr. With Yammer the focus is on companies and bringing the ability to communicate through private messaging for its employees. Yingr wants to bring the same idea but only amongst the micro-blogging community.
Not sure if I will jump on the bandwagon but one advantage it does have over Twitter is that it seems to not go down as often. Nothing frustrates me more than typing a message and then hitting update to only have Twitter not respond. Follow me on Twitter by clicking here
