Expanding what we think of as providing content

As usual there is a lot of ‘tweeting’ going on about business models for twitter, but I like Twitterboy’s take on it.  He’s a Twitter content provider.

For a nominal fee, he’ll tweet for you, placing you in “awesome locations/situations, saying genuinely interesting and thought-provoking things”.

You inform him of your interests/reasons for being on Twitter, and pick one of his plans -  three Tweets for $1.99; full profile takeover for $30; whatever.

I love how the microblogging trend has slipped from a fun thing to do in downtime, to a raison d’étre, to a chore, to a service you can subscribe to.

Who knew content design could fit in so small a space?

Cool Service

Who needs a smartphone that does everything if you can have a digital assistant that does all the heavy-lifting for you?

Enter Dial2Do - the service that gives you a handsfree productivity tool that is only a phone call away.

  • Send email
  • Send text messages
  • Record reminders
  • Send updates to Twitter or Jaiku stream
  • Play internet audio content

I love this kind of service!  Why isn’t it offered from a company who needs to “own” productivity?  Or memory?  Or Safety?
