FLUTTER – FASTER AND SHORTER THAN TWITTER

This is good. These guys have put together a spoof of the Twitter craze sweeping the world. This time it’s called Flutter and instead of a maximum of 140 characters per message, it’s a max of 26 characters.

It’s really well done and nearly a carbon copy of a genuine doccie I watched on the Twitter guys. That whole geeky/humble/smug air about it. Like, “We didn’t mean for it to do well and we were actually focusing on something else. But when Google offers you half a billion Dollars, you realise you need to pay attention!!” Hes-haw hee-haw!!

Ok, enough – check it out:

 

 

So nicely done. Very funny. In particular the terminology, “Instead of calling it a tweet, we call it a flap. Like a humming bird’s wings flapping really fast – which is faster than a normal bird tweets.”

Whaahaha!

If you don’t know what Twitter is, don’t panic, I’ve put together a WHOLE TWITTER SECTION, just for you. Yeehah! Click here.
