Twitter (and its various mashups and related applications) is quickly becoming everything dodgeball could have been, had Google stuck with the dodgeball guys and not just sort of left them in the lurch… They haven’t even updated the about us page since the founders got fed up with the lack of support and left back in mid-april. I love dodgeball, but they don’t have the resources applied to the project to really do the nifty things that the rather open twitter can do.
There was so much potential there if they simply applied the right people to it, and spent some resources. I’m not sure what the point was in Google acquiring dodgeball and not doing anything with it besides making Google accounts work and requiring the conversion of dodgeball accounts to Google accounts. Perhaps it was just to get rid of a competitor for an upcoming product or what… Who knows, maybe Twitter is next in line to be Google’d.
One of these days, I’m going to come up with an awesome idea that will later be bought by Google for like $6.5 billion. Until then, I guess it’s back to the grindstone. Working on some not-quite-as-nifty stuff for the moment. Meh.
