If you haven’t heard of Twitter then it’s more than likely that you’re amongst the UFO reports in the National Archives latest release of sightings and reports of strange objects. So as they celebrated their two billionth user this week, is it any wonder that even the London cabbies are now using tweets to get fares. Read more.
It’s hard to see where the social networking phenomenon will stop, and what kind of quirky activities it will be used for in the future. You think that hailing a cab from a tweet is good, then there’s likely to be plenty more to come.
You can see a point in the near future where, I dunno, Dominos Pizza launch a twitter account that allows the resident pizza lover to order via tweeting. The fun part: you get hold of his phone and order 50…sod it, 100, large pizzas to the guys house, and the automatic ordering system will charge the poor lad for the Italian goodness delivered to his door. The second you notice the guys actually eaten it all – that’s when you move out.
But apart from pizza ordering, there’s an even more lucrative market ready and waiting to be exploited, and I don’t think I’m alone in finding this one intriguing.
Could escort services not use twitter to book clients for their escorts? In 140 characters I’m sure you could state the escort, service required, place, time etc. Easy as 1, 2, 3. Lets try it.
‘Jenna, full valet, London Hilton, 2200’
I mean that’s only 40 characters, imagine the amount of detail you could put in there, eh!
It’s like the next generation of cyber sex, but…it’s real! Sod Chat Roulette when you can get a real person to do whatever you want them to do. The only problem is the price, but I’m sure you can haggle. They’re always trying to making it safer for ladies of the night, so taking them off the street and onto the tweet seems as safer option as any. Bitches need money too after all.
However, if you can’t afford some top brass to spend your night with there’s nothing stopping you hooking up with some chicks for a bit of Tweetsex. With only 140 characters it will be like those days when all you had was a Nokia 5110, allowing you to text with around 140 of those lovely consonants and vowels, time to get innovative again. It will even bring out the voyeurs in their masses, like watching amateur porn but in the form of words. You can feel the first law-suit approaching as we think. It’s like Minority Report all over again!
So although it’s the scorn of a growing number of companies due to man hours lost, Twitter is the buzz word of the moment and looks like it will continue to be. After opening the book on Facebook, Bodog could have themselves another wager to make in the future.
