Five signs you are a twitter addict

As twitter reaches the 19 million user mark and is the talk of the town from Oprah to the NYT, I'm willing to admit that I have a problem and perhaps you do too. Techcrunch recently estimated that with these growth rates, twitter will have 50 million users by the summer. As a twitterholic, my patterns are hard to ignore. Are you suffering from at least four of the following? Any others?


1. You check your twitter feed in bed before u kiss the honey good morning


2. You start introducing all your friends as @Tom, @Jerry, despite them not having twitter accounts


3. You hold frequent one way conversations with twitter celebrities even though they never respond


4. You refer to everyone you follow and never met as your "friend", including Oprah


5. All your bathroom visits are coupled with twitter updates

NewGen Tech: Conversation with 3 young entrepreneurs - chalk2.me and api.gy




This week we had a great conversation with Rob, Paul and Cameron,
3 young and up and coming entrepreneurs from the burgeoning Boulder
tech scene. As they finish up their senior years at the University of
Colorado, they somehow find the time to pursue their passion for
building startups on the side. Clearly, this generation knows how to multitask.


Their first endeavor is the group messaging tool, Chalk2me, which
allows easier communication between groups and categories of groups.
The team is now taking their platform one step further and launching
Api.gy, which is a great tool for small retailers. Api.gy will provide the
infrastructure for Mom and Pop shops to
establish a rich web presence with a lot of flexibility. Through their
common API, developers will have the ability to create novel applications
for selling the retailer's products through the Api.gy service. Great tools for tough times, and we love that the focus is on small community shops.
