@Locals: Localized Twittered Chatrooms

Matt Terenzio has launched a neat Twitter app: @locals, which is a localized chatroom based on tweats directed to the '@locals' Twitter account.

@locals

I have set my Twitter account's location to 'Not LeWeb3' and will be sending along a few tweets to '@locals' during the day to try it out. Jump in if you want.

Matt Terenzio is the guy who I sold the podosphere.com domain to, and he recently jumped on 'edglings.com'! I should have bought it, I guess. I also discovered today that my pal, Jeremie Miller, has purchased 'edglings.org'. Hmmm. I guess I can be both flattered and pissed off, at the same time.

Terenzio suggests we should relaunch Edgeio with the domain. I have a few other ideas, better ones, I hope.

Re: Edgelings.com . Yeah, you could say I'm looking for a new project. @locals is over 48 hours old now. ; )

When I initially joined, I was all caught up and worried about getting permanent locations set correctly (will "Ontario, California USA" map to 91762?).

However, as this site has evolved over the last few days, it's finally sunk into my head that it can be used to set temporary locations, not only physically but virtually.

Actually Jeremie owns edglings.com
I own edgelings.com

Be flattered, I love the name and ideas behind it.

I don't have any idea what to do with them, if a suitable project comes along then at least I have something to contribute I guess :)
