Twitter India?
April 23rd, 2007 , by amitagwlAfter making waves in USA, I always thought a service like Twitter will be hugely popular in India. To the uninitiated, twitter is a service where you can register and create your channel. Now you can send a messge from your cell phone or IM or web to that channel. Your friends can subscribe to the channel and will get the updates from you.
India already has a vast and growing population of mobile users. SMS are a way of life for all mobile users. And the market is ripe for a service like twitter. While I was thinking about such a service in India, I read few blogs around the same..
On radioblogs
There seems to be a company ActivMobs (No idea why they have a URL “inactiv.com”), that is doing some similar stuff in Karnataka! I will be interested to know who sucks up the cost of outgoing SMS!
Here is an article on economic times. Neeraj roy has an interesting comment in the article :
But managing director and CEO, Neeraj Roy says that such rich VAS’s would never survive in the current eco-system where telcos have walled the gardens, where content providers like him, play. Once these walls have been pulled down, only then he says can such VASs proliferate.
