Twazzup In Twitter Land?

Posted by on May 13, 2009 | 7 Comments

There should be an image here!Is there really a workable means of making sense of the Twitter world? How about the content that comes from within it? Apparently, Twazzup is about the closest thing to usable Twitter search for the masses.

There is really no question that when it comes to keeping with the latest breaking news, developing trends and other related events, Twitter does yield the best information. But for really diving into specific research, Twitter’s basic search pretty much sucks.

I am hopeful that we will see further development of the relevant links section for Twazzup. Because it is here that we see the cleanest blending of search engine like function with Digg like popularity driven content. Perfect, it is not. But given enough time, it might become pretty close.

    I think the reason the iPad is beating competition is it’s the original and no one has come up with anything to beat it. Why by buy the store brand when it doesn’t taste as good as the name brand. After all the competition isn’t innovating they’re immolating.
    If you want to compete with Apple do so by making something better than they make. Oh, they can’t. Nevermind.

    One differentiator, is competitor “in store” experience and performance grading, vs. sustained real-world usage which allows you to learn what the machine is REALLY like. THAT, is when you “get” the genius of Apple.

    I think the main two (2) reason one would buy a tablet computer other than the ipad right now are :

    1/ They held the false notion that apple computers are still incompatible with pcs and that somehow that will negatively affect their predominantly pc-based computing experience.

    2/ They were seduced into the sale of an alternate brand by a Sales Agent whose commission on the sale of the recommended alternative happen to be much more promising than on the ipad.

    That aside, its ipad all the way, after all, ipad has made the way, lead the way and continues to maintain its position by surpassing the expectations of the average consumers, and is made by a brand they can trust. Apple is WOW. The other tablet brands is OW… cause it really hurts.

    Lol the devices actually worked for you? Every time I’ve gone to Best Buy the only useable tablets were the iPads and the touch pad. The others were either dead or crashed or frozen, and web OS was confusing and I didn’t feel like figuring it out.

    Look at it from the common computer users point of view. A lot of users think the Apple is just for professionals because that’s the way it’s been priced. Most of us are just waiting for the new crop of lower priced tablets to become stable just like it took time for computers to become stable enough for the mass market. Now that there is more competition I think you will see the tablet market take off.

    I don’t think the tablet computer market is failing, one vendor is being quite successful…

    Having both an iPad and an Android tablet (the Notion Ink Adam) the difference between them is simply amazing… It’s obvious to me why Apple ones are selling like crazy.

    They just feel completely different. The iPad is easy, turn it on and go. Mostly it does what you want it to do. The Android one, with Honeycomb, feels like a half-baked operating system. Good possibilities, mind you, and I like some of it.

    But then when I try to use it, it keeps missing some of my clicks, it clicks instead of scrolls, and things like that. The Honeycomb image I got for it already had two web browsers installed, so almost every time I click a link it asks me which browser I want to use for it, and if I always want that one. Really annoying stuff.

    Apple was the first to market with a viable tablet product while all the other said tablets would never take off, and after that the rest are rushing to get something there, but still have more work to do to make something that simply feels like it works.

    i think it is another case of ipod and zune one came out first and spread much farther its what everyone was talking about at first and people refuse the idea that their is a tablet better than theirs i think this market will be open again when apple dies down if they do
