Competitors to Twitter in 2010

---

The web’s evolution is wildly unpredictable, but still what I see is, in 2010 twitter will face a great competitions from these following websites..

1. Foursquare :

To build something that not only helps you keep up with your friends, but exposes you to new things in and challenges you to explore cities in different ways.

It is pushing the “Here’s where I’m located” phenomena with a service/game that encourages people to become the “mayor” of anywhere and anything?

Available on iPhone app, an Android app, a mobile-web site

2. Posterous :

Posterous is the dead simple way to put anything online using email. We launched in July 2008 and we’ve been steadily growing and adding features.

It captured a lot of buzz a few months ago as a cross between Twitter and blog, particularly when well-known blogger Steve Rubel unveiled plans to use Posterous instead of blogging.

3. Blippy :

Blippy is a fun and easy way to see and discuss the things people are buying. Automatically share your favorite purchases from iTunes, Amazon, Zappos, Visa, MasterCard, and more.

In other words its a social media service, that lets people share their credit card purchases. For example, instead of doing a tweet about your Boxing Day activity, Blippy would automatically announce that you had just spent $149.25 at iTunes.

4. Google Wave:

Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation
and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

Ahhh.. Everybody knows about Google Wave, but the fact is that though Google launched it in 2009 but the real effect will take place now. It supports most of the trends like facebook, twitter, and many more.. And at the end of the day its a great application..

If you know any more such websites, feel free to add as comments.. Thanks for reading..
