While many of us were preparing to celebrate Christmas, Twitter silently announced it acquired a start-up.
The name of the company: Mixer Labs. The business: location tracking. The cash or whatever involved: unknown.
The start-up was founded by a few former Google employees that developed a Twitter app, called GeoAPI (“a comprehensive service for helping developers build geolocation-aware applications”) that allows Twitter users to show where they are when they tweet.
Hi, Mari, I don’t know you personally, and you don’t know me personally. So this isn’t personal. However, yesterday I read something on Twitter about an initiative you took, I wanted to post about.
I can’t tell it to you in person since we live in completely other parts of the world and since sending a DM via Twitter or trying to contact you otherwise most of the time results in ‘My inbox is so full now’ or ‘I am so busy now’ messages.
I truly think you’re very busy so no offense taken for that. But of course you want to be busy. I mean; you are everywhere: a Facebook profile, a Facebook fan page, Twitter, FriendFeed, LinkedIn, 3 accounts on YouTube, Flickr, StumbleUpon, Digg, Plaxo, Posterous, EzineArticles, your blog, I guess the list doesn’t stop here.
