- BETRAMS, on 07/12/2009, -0/+18Without looking at this article, I can say none of them will be the "next" thing.
- inactive, on 07/12/2009, -0/+14well... nice to see the social media interns Qik hired for the summer managed to get an article on Digg.
1. use only 2 other websites so readers dont get lost in the list.
2. use google as 1, which everyone knows, and use Twitter itself as another, which everyone already knows. leaving ... Qik the only one worthy to click.
3. submit it on a random ass blog that you can submit as many times as you want to digg. - youbequiet, on 07/12/2009, -0/+12Twitter could be the new twitter? What?
- t0x2c, on 07/12/2009, -0/+12The next twitter is a 6 character max version.
- inactive, on 07/12/2009, -8/+17***** Twitter, and any of the clones.
- vault, on 07/12/2009, -2/+11Yeah, it's hard to say what will be the next ***** time-waster that makes no money. Valuable thing to figure out, though.
- Kakumeikeahi, on 07/12/2009, -2/+10I looked at Qik, and luled when I saw they have only 2 categories for videos:
1. "All"
2. "Hot Videos" - netneutrality, on 07/12/2009, -0/+6I hope there won't be one.
- shaelen, on 07/12/2009, -0/+5What is Twitter?
Hell, I've been online since 1989. IRC ruled then. IRC should rule, now.
Get off my lawn, you twitter freaks! - Rotzooi, on 07/12/2009, -0/+5buried for lol
- zijoud, on 07/12/2009, -0/+4If Google and Twitter become one I hope they call it Gooter instead of Twoogle.
- w3stwing, on 07/12/2009, -1/+4I hear good things about this incredible new website called friendster.
- nicksource, on 07/12/2009, -0/+3Twitter, like MySpace, requires a lot of stupid people to make it big.
- holzp, on 07/12/2009, -1/+4sweet!
- oda1, on 07/12/2009, -1/+4I figured out how to make the next best thing:
A) Make a bubbly and colorful design
B) Make sure it appeals to 13 year old girls
C) Make it so stupid, a sane person would not use it
D) Advertise it
E) Chill and watch the money roll in and all the invites from the Oprah show.
I'm gonna make a twitter-killer and have the word limit only 7 characters. - jman583, on 07/12/2009, -1/+4I hope I'm not alone in this, Twitter seems to be mostly hype. Also, it sucks.
- MrJagil, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2wow! you were right!
- Rotzooi, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2You forgot: Make sure your users generate the actual content. See: Digg, Facebook, Myspace etc
- sham22, on 07/30/2009, -0/+2mashing the F5 key it's all the exercise most people that uses twitter get, don't take that away from them
- Malik112099, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2Mass Carrier Pidgeon or MaCPid for short.
We will send a message to the MaCPid service which would be called flapping. The MaCPid service then wirelessly transmits the message to rfid chips embedded in the legs of thousands of trained carrier pidgeons. Upon release the pidgeons will then fly out to central areas in large cities and the rfid messages will be transmitted to any and every type of compatible electronic device people might be carrying. After reading the message which has invaded your device and realizing you dont give a damn, the pidgeons will ***** all over you and return to the MaCPid holding area to wait for the next message to be sent out. - inactive, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2Googer and Twigle sound better, in my opinion.
- SaladCactusKing, on 07/12/2009, -2/+4I'm just going to put a bunch of characters together and use a vowel to separate them: Ta-da! A new social network!

Michaeljacksonisdeadandmagicjohnsonhashiv - MorpheousMarty, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2I think before asking what is the next twitter we should answer what is the current twitter.
- WhistlinTom, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2I see what you did there. clever.
- texxel, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2It sounds like you don't have enough iodine in your diet.
- Torx, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2morse code? CB social networking?
- greenmartian, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2Most people who use Twitter are businesses looking to further their clientele.
But yes, most regular people without businesses that are there strictly to update others on their lives are stupid. - ryanspeck, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2I fear that if it became Gooter, you'd end up with horrific ads featuring Larry The Cable Guy, yelling "GOOTER DUN!", giving a big thumbs up, and collecting a fat check as the gates of hell open up and pore forth a torrent of excrement amidst the agonized screams of a million damned souls. Then Larry would get back onto his horse and, with his three compaitriots from Blue Collar Everything Ever(tm), would fly through the sky, raining down death, horror, destruction, "You Might Be A Redneck" jokes, and unsold copies of his book on the fearful populace, who have no recourse but to huddle together in their homes, basements, and decaying fallout shelters, begging and praying for their deaths to be quick for fear of their souls being shattered by an endless array of fart jokes or, god forbid, some of Engvall's "Here's Your Sign" routine, pulled out of the proverbial mothballs to torment the frightened ears of the good people dying horribly under his black and horrible gaze. And the skies would turn black and all that is good and beautiful would die and there would be nothing left except to call out to the Abyss and say "I am ready; take me now" and hope that the darkness would envelop all and end the wretched travesty that life had become.
- SquareWheel, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2lol
- holzp, on 07/12/2009, -1/+3thanks
- kigabit, on 07/12/2009, -1/+3"Qiking (The new googling?)"
I cringed a little when I read that. - SquareWheel, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2We're doomed!
- bctrainers, on 07/12/2009, -0/+1The next twitter type? Probably where the website does real time updates and not the traditional "mash the F5 key" for new stuff.
- 0tis, on 07/12/2009, -0/+1Stop trying to find "the Next Big Thing". It'll come to you when it's ready anyhow.
- elperegrino, on 07/12/2009, -0/+1someone posted something about google knowing too much about them the other day. this is what google knows about twitter:
twitter is over capacity, rubbish, crap, pointless, down, rael (tricky one that - twitter israel...), slow, a waste of time, lame and boring
can't wait for the next big thing - RedShoulder, on 07/12/2009, -1/+2Unfortunately, there are a lot of them about.
What's really scary is that many of them vote! - Kakumeikeahi, on 07/12/2009, -0/+1How swell to see a ignorant person following the crowd.
- WoshJills, on 07/12/2009, -0/+1Digg is a social networking website that found a way to be useful; popular news, so I don't know what you are talking about.
- thegallery, on 07/12/2009, -0/+1Aardvark. It's brilliant.
vark.com - hamishcduncan, on 07/12/2009, -2/+2yeah ***** twitter i dont even know what it is but i noe i h8 it lol!
- Regulator980, on 07/12/2009, -1/+1Qik was actually pretty cool during New Years.
- monkeychowuk, on 07/12/2009, -2/+1Your Mum/Mom
- chicbicyclist, on 07/12/2009, -2/+1What's the point if we have to move from site to site and all our "social" lives every year or so?
- WoshJills, on 07/12/2009, -1/+0diddo.
- S3Plan, on 07/12/2009, -4/+3I hate all this social networking *****. No one I personally know uses for more than ***** surveys, photos of parties, or self gloating pictures of how awesome they are.
If that's all it's supposed to be, then I still ***** hate them. - theuniversal, on 07/12/2009, -3/+2I've been introduced to plenty of interesting stories, articles, websites via twitter. Perhaps you don't know how to use twitter?
- MaxMWood, on 07/12/2009, -3/+1Plurk.com is much better than Twitter it's just a shame they don't have the same amount of users.
- kareninsilver, on 07/12/2009, -6/+2Plurk > Twitter
- Presbyterian, on 07/12/2009, -5/+1Dude, you're posting on Digg.
Which so far is not profitable.
Talk about calling the kettle black. - Genecalypse, on 07/12/2009, -9/+4God damn ***** TWITTER for ***** sake. If ***** like twitter can be used regularly we are truly all going to die horribly lol.
