hictu

Today's Squawk Box was about micro blogging systems. We had a healthy representation of folks discussing the why's and what for's of Twitter, Jaiku, Hictu and more.  A question of media type also led to a heated discussion around video calling and video micro-blogging.  All in all, one of the more interesting calls we've had.

Enjoy the discussion.  And see you tomorrow for our call with Marc Gingras of Tungle.

Twitter seems to be becoming the flow publisher of choice for social sites.  In recent days, I've also been using Hictu!, which cross posts to Twitter as well.

We can all remain hopeful that they will expand their API to support this new audience.  A Hictu video stream, or Jaanix excerpt would be a fabulous payload addition to Twitter.
