A Bit of History
(a very tiny bit)
Who would have ever thought that would happen? Certainly not the parents of the past several decades!
In Japan, seems they read serialized novels on their cell phones these days. Since the texting programs only allows for about 140 characters, you can imagine how short the segments are.
In America, while the text novels on cell phones haven't quiet caught on, something else has.
It is called Microblogging. What is THAT, you may be asking.
"Microblogging is the practice of sending brief posts to a personal blog on a microblogging Web site, such as Twitter or Jaiku. Microposts can be made public on a Web site and/or distributed to a private group of subscribers."-- Mircoblogging Defined
For a long time (or at least a long time in Internet life spans), Twitter was king...or Queen...of the micro-blogging sites.
Now there is a new spot on the Internet mirco-blogging block.
Welcome to Quillpill!
Below is a screen shot of their "About" page. Since a picture is worth a gazillion words and I don't want to use that many, I thought this would go a long way towards quickly introducing you to this interesting new site!
From the FAQ section of the Quillpill website:
Q: What is Quillpill?
A: Quillpill replaces your notebook. Write fiction, poetry, essays, or anything at all from your desktop or mobile phone. Whenever you have a moment, you can add a few sentences to your writing, or catch up on the progress of your friends. Write or read while waiting for a cab, sitting at a restaurant, or relaxing in bed.
Quillpill Makes The FreeLine Report
Brad Fallon & Free Line Report: QuillPill - TuneWiki - Orgoo
http://freelinereport.com The FreeLine Report with Brad Fallon - Cell phone novels are all the rage right now in Japan, some even hitting the bestseller lists. The idea is to text a short message, each one continuing the story of the novel. Bringing this twitter for fiction to the US shores is a company called QuillPill. It's in beta right now, but any would be J.K. Rowlings should take note and get ready to write their next masterpiece on their iPhones. http://freelinereport.com/freeline-6-18-08 Next up, Brad Fallon tells us that TuneWiki is a hot application for iPhone fans who like to sing along to their favorite songs. It displays the lyrics across the front of your iPhone as it plays, letting you croon along like the next American Idol star that you know that you are. If you want an audience while you do it, the new version of TuneWiki now takes advantage of iPhone's GPS system, telling you when other TuneWiki users are close by and ready for an impromptu concert. http://freelinereport.com/freeline-6-18-08 And if you've got an iPhone, Brad Fallon tells us you'll love this next news announcement. Looks like Google is working hard on speeding up their mobile search. They plan on using some chaching technology to get this done, boosting speeds on almost every single mobile web browser available. Looks like Google is set to conquer the mobile search market too. http://freelinereport.com/freeline-6-18-08 Next up is a Google Gears Powered MySpace Messaging engine that is super fast, and allows you to do many thing you can't do with MySpace in your web browser. Until now, you couldn't easily search or sort through your messages, making it hard to go back to old messages from a lost friend. But with the Gears Powered MySpace Messaging, you can now bring up messages by date and identity. And if you have a large friends list like me, you will notice a huge speed increase. http://freelinereport.com/freeline-6-18-08 And if you're a fan of MySpace, or any other social network for that matter, you might want to keep all of your messages in one spot, including your email. Well, you have your chance with Orgoo. You can combine your gmail, livemail or hotmail account with just about any social network, giving you one online identity.
