Max Gladwell Gives Props to CitySpeek
We received a great compliment today when the popular blog Max Gladwell made mention of CitySpeek on Twitter today. A few weeks ago Max Gladwell posted their top 10 predictions for the coming 12 months.
Number 6 on their list said:
Regardless of who acquires Twitter, viable Twitter rivals will likely emerge. As micro-blogging becomes as popular as social networking, Twitter will become a too generic and one-size-fits-all for many. Twitter will launch a groups feature in an effort to combat this, but people tend to like their niche products and communities. We may see a Ning-like platform for micro-blogging, which fragments this trend into hundreds of thousands of unique mini Twitters. A couple rival startups might actually gain traction by adding value in new ways. We saw several Twitter wannabes fail already, but that was before micro-blogging went mainstream. Indeed, “status updates” will become a standard feature for any type of community-driven site.
Today Max Gladwell posted on twitter that CitySpeek was an example of this:
CitySpeek (http://www.cityspeek.com) is a lot like what we talked about in our predictions for MG01 (#6)
So a big thank you is in order for Max Gladwell. Make sure to check out the blog on social media and green living, its a great read.
