<p>So Twitter is the internet application of the moment. The so called <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/10/twitter-is-lowexpectation-irc.html"><span class="caps">IRC</span> of the web 2.0</a> has got the <s>internet junkies</s> Geeks 2.0 and also coming to regular people&#8217;s life.</p>

<p>There is an enourmous discussion on whether Twitter is useful or not. <a href="http://blog.webreakstuff.com/2008/03/on-information-overload/">Some</a> turn it off to get work done, others <a href="http://www.gapingvoid.com/mt/mt-tb.cgi?__mode=view&amp;entry_id=4480">delete their account</a> because it&#8217;s killing their blogging to then go back and realize <a href="http://www.gapingvoid.com/Moveable_Type/archives/004488.html">they can&#8217;t live without it</a>.</p>

<p>Now 37 signals, the company behind Backpack (and some others) and also Ruby on Rails is getting their Twitter-clone applied to entrepises ready. They&#8217;re naming it <a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/976-a-peek-at-inout-an-internal-app-at-37signals">In/Out</a> and they&#8217;ve been using it internally for the last year. Why do I call it a twitter clone? Because it allows you to update your status on <strong>What are you doing</strong> so your workmates know at any time what is keeping you busy. I love their idea of charging companies for such an idea!</p>
