<p>I&#8217;ve already <a href="http://alcidesfonseca.com/blog/89">posted a bit on this matter</a>, but web2.0 isn&#8217;t static and things evolve. Here&#8217;s how I see the scene now:</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>: THE microblogging</li>
<li><a href="http://www.jaiku.com" target="_blank">Jaiku</a>: personal aggregator</li>
<li><a href="http://www.pownce.com" target="_blank">Pownce</a>: twitter with steroids</li>
<li><a href="http://www.tumblr.com" target="_blank">Tumblr</a>: miniblogging</li>
</ul>

<p>But things are changing! Starting by Twitter, it has stalled in my opinion, in their basic concept: only microblogging. When all other services are getting into images, videos, links, musics, quotes, you name it, Twitter spend their efforts in stabling their service (and at <a href="http://www.twitternotes.com">TwitterNotes</a> we still get a lot of errors from Twitter!).</p>

<p>Jaiku <a href="http://www.jaiku.com/blog/2007/10/09/were-joining-google/">has recently been acquired by Google</a> and I guess it will have to do with the rumored gPhone! If so, Jaiku&#8217;s success will be proportional to gPhone&#8217;s.</p>

<p>Pownce hasn&#8217;t released the <span class="caps">API</span> yet, but <a href="http://pownce.com/leahculver/notes/862538/">they&#8217;re still working on new features</a>. I guess if they had better applications (I don&#8217;t use the <span class="caps">AIR</span> one because it doesn&#8217;t minimize to tray!) it would be a nice service to use within small teams.</p>

<p>Tumblr seems <a href="http://blog.davidville.com/2007/04/27/tumbling-towards-2-0/">to be reaching version 2.0</a>.  More features <span class="caps">AND</span> dead-simple go pretty good together.</p>

<p>A few days ago, <a href="http://technofetishist.info/">Tiago</a> introduced me <a href="http://www.soup.io/">Soup.io</a>, another microblogging service that joins all of the others together. It seemed to me that it doesn&#8217;t bring anything new, but looked nice and it&#8217;s a nice way of having everything together. A Scrapbook as they say.</p>

<p>Moments ago, I was discussing with <a href="http://asourceofinspiration.com">Armando</a> about what platform would be &#8220;the chosen one&#8221; or at least how would this ones evolve. He believes that Tumblr will be the more used within sometime, but I have my doubts. Everyone (Ok, geeks and web2.0 people) is already using Twitter, have their profiles and network there. It will be hard to change everyone to a new service if the difference is not notorious, and at this is moment I don&#8217;t believe it is.</p>

<p>We also discussed whether it would be nice for Twitter to do trackbacks to blog posts since nowadays more and more people are using twitter to comment blogs. I usually only link it, I comment there is it is small or if I can make a nice big post out of that, I&#8217;d blog about it. But what about miniblogging (as I call tumblr and soup.io), they might deserve a trackback&#8230; What do you think?</p>
