Qype and Twitter.
14.08.2007 from Stephan UhrenbacherEvery two minutes, there is a new tool on the block that a web 2.0 startup needs to use in order to remain cool, sexy and all kinds of other things.
Two years ago, you needed your own flickr account, then came Secondlife, then Twitter, then Facebook. In between you should organise your events with wevent.org (cool site by the way) - Not sure what it will be tomorrow, so I tend to get a bit bored of following all those gimmicks. I gave up using Twitter myself, unless I am in a queue at an airport (in case you are interested: stephanu, but beware: may contain explicit German).
That said, our corporate Twitter account has proven to be very useful for us, as Markus from blognation has discovered.

Thanks for the link to wevent, I wonder how similar it is, if at all, to upcoming.org.
If Twitter no longer has that “kick”, take a look at Jaiku.com - at first, they seem to be rather similar, but Jaiku has a lot of underlying fuctionality which serves, in my opinion, as an answer to what Twitter lacks. I posted a small write-up about Jaiku earlier on in the day: http://www.liron.de/blog/?p=456

The more international version of wevents is upcoming.org, which is getting more and more filled with European content as well…
