I had plans to integrate with twitter, I think it's a good idea. I was worried that API limits for twitter would be reached, so came up with a way around that, but haven't released it yet...not that api limits would be an issue at the moment.

Barrier, yes. But maybe we can use that to our advantage?

Thanks for the feedback. The idea is that the charge is small enough to not matter for legitimate transactions, but would matter for people who are wishing to bulk-broadcast.

Good tweaks, thanks.

It's not a joke, but it is an experiment. It's unclear if this is an idea that has any standing power, but it is interesting enough to me to give it a try.

I don't know about your twitter experience, but mine has been loaded with Spammers of late. What if we used money as a way to get a better signal-to-noise ratio? What does that interaction look like?

Second, what if we eliminated user accounts, making it more like the Citizens Band Radio, and less like Email. Squeelr is a common place to write stuff.

It's true, we already have many other places to write and give our opinions, but Squeelr is a funny mix of existing technologies. It's an iPhone application first, and so integrates with the camera and geolocation abilities of that target. It's a microblogging type service. But it's also completely controlled by the users, like a wiki--if you don't like something, delete it.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree, I linked to the wrong page. Is this one better? http://www.squeelr.com/about.html
