Part 2 - Birds do it. Movie Stars do it. Cable News Broadcasters do it. But do Software Developers do it? Twitter.

Thanks to those that provided their input on how Software Developers are using Twitter. Interesting enough, Time magazine did a major article on Twitter in their June 15th edition. One of the major premises put forward in this article is that Twitter is changing the rules of engagement. The author discusses various examples of Twitter bringing more people into the conversation, including a conference on education reform where people in the audience and in the Twitter-sphere began to join the discussion that was being projected on a screen in the main conference room. So, what if developers and coders began to collaborate on a programming project and opened it to an associated developer Twitter-sphere to add their comments, suggestions and coding contributions? Do you think this would bring value? Have you experienced this type of developer Twitter collaboration or heard of something like this? What do you think?

Interestingly enough I think it would be a great idea as a memo-like thingy... :D It's a nice idea worth trying imho!

Yes, I think that is a good usage, especially for taking quick comments or ideas.

Its not a bad program, the only thing is that i would be worried bout the security aspects of the software, thats probably why its access denied with us!

Thank you for your comment. I am glad that you think this might be a good collaboration tool for developers.
