I'm not particularly familiar with twitter, but I'd have thought this kind of thing (interests, not porn) would be an obvious application.
I mean, I (introverted) am definitely not interested in what my friends had for lunch, but I'd really like to know what book they just finished, or movie, or song. I don't think it would be that hard to separate them by media, and there would be a lot of interesting data to get from this.
Yes, heh, I'm well aware. I'm a team member of the main platform it was built on, Yonkly. We're growing and trying to capture the main need to niche-microblog. It's definitely been a typical startups journey (noodles, credit extended, constantly trying new strategies). Hopefully we'll get that activity back up soon, and create a truly valuable and addicting experience. :)
Why didn't they just use the obvious name "Twatter"?
