erkkola.net: Finnish PR wire services are tweeting

  • erkka · 10 months ago
    Brightkite has drawn some positive attention lately. At least when it comes to the Finns looking an alternative to Jaiku and Twitter.

    I'm also keeping my eye on Bloggy.se - it seems to copy Jaiku pretty well - the downside is the Swedish UI...

    I has been sad to see Jaiku getting more quiet, but it has been interesting to more and more Finns in Twitter.

    I'm not sure what I think about Brightkite. The location aspect is cool, but otherwise I guess it has too many features.

    I don't think Twitter has any traditional SEO value since all their outbound links are nofollow links. You are probably spot on with the push-PR.

    Uuh... exactly. Silly me. Thanks for pointing that out!

    Pushing feeds to Twitter is easy, but using Twitter only for that is a missed opportunity.
