Am I the only one tired of Twitter apps?
sam_in_nyc: I've noticed this trend as well.I think the lesson here is that the simpler the idea, the better.  Let communities of people who care do the work for you.  If you can provide some sort of platform, even if it is something as simple as: "140 chars or less text comments, sent to people who choose to see them, and allowing these text comments to be sent from multiple sources."Don't get me started about how over hyped twitter is.  It's got a great name and got insanely lucky with its adoption... and if someone could write up a blog entry about how they got so popular that would be great as well.  They must have had some popular early adopters.Back to the "app a day" (pun intended) topic.  I wonder to myself, are these apps meant to make money, or are they just people playing around?  Have any serious twitter apps, besides summize, been acquired?I think the more abstract trend, at the moment, is "hack something together in a few days and see what happens."  Things along the line of http://nowdothis.com.My gut tells me they see a spike in traffic, then nobody really cares.  What people want now is stuff that connects them to other people, easily.  JuicyCampus, Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc.  It's about being social in the right way.
