Twitxr is a new micro-blogging platform that recently launched by FON, a startup that aimed to make WiFi universal and free. Though FON is not available in some countries due to the restriction of WiFi coverage, but Twitxr is different. Twitxr allowed user regardless where she lives to sign-up, and post update instantly through the mobile phone, laptop, or desktop, with the pre-requisite of Internet connection. It is inevitably that we’ll compare Twitxt with Twitter. As Twitter has developed into a strategic user communication tool, Twitxr is aimed to achieved a differentiation advantage by offering message/update with image posting. One of the features offered by Twitxr is the image can be geotagged, so that your friends or buddies following you will know where you are and what you’re doing. Put an instance, if you’re cooking, post an update and a photo which you and the dish at your kitchen will convince them you’re not doing something else, and you’re serious about cooking. There’s help to explain a proverb, i.e. A picture is worth a thousand words. Given the image and geotagging functionality, for those who do not want to attach image together with an update, Twitxr also provide an option where users can choose post text-only updates, picture-only updates or both. But remind you, after you sign-up for Twitxr, remember to keep your Twitxr e-mail address private, this is for the security reason.

Currently Twitxr is still in beta mode, but successfully released iTwitxr for the iPhone. I believe that we can expect more from them as their technologies develop into mature. To know more about Twitxr, there’s a video clip, as embedded in the below.
