Twitwall: An Useful Enhancement To Your Tweets – Or An Unnecessary Platform? You Decide …
I recently discovered Twitwall.com through following a link from @kimbeasley. Twitwall allows a cross between blogging and Twitter and allows you to write more than 140 characters.
You can also embed your videos and widgets, upload your photos and mp3’s to your post at Twitwall.
Twitwall is easy to set up with your Twitter user name and password and has a WYSIWYG interface though at the time of writing this article it has no spell check or tagging feature that you would find on blogging platforms.
Alternative ways to post more information to Twitter would be to syndicate your content from your blog, from platforms like FriendFeed, use tools like Twitpic, or syndicate your content applications such as Flickr, YouTube or many other sites that now allow you to link to your Twitter account.
Another alternative to Twitwall is Twitblogs.com
I’m not sure if I’ll use Twitwall, but why not make up your own mind? And thanks to Kim without whom I may not have come across Twitwall.
I can see that it has benefits for someone who wants to post more content than 140 characters but who do not blog – but as with all free hosted solutions, you will not have the archives should the service ever cease.
So if you are interested in creating real estate to reflect your personal brand online and share your passions, interests and expertise perhaps Twitwall is a good place to start?
In the meantime you might find the article from the Blog Herald with a more indepth look at Twitwall and an interview with Twitwall founder Michael E Carluen.
Here is a video of Twitwall in action from Richard Osterude @RichOsterude on Twitter.
