Bccth.is - Ensuring Twitter Messages Are Read

Any average Twitter user updates his status several times a day. As such, it is always probable that these updates that came early will eventually be displaced and sort of become lost along the way.

That is a problem if you posted a message for a specific person to read and the person did not log into Twitter until it was much later on. Bcc This is a new service that aims to address such a shortcoming by sending the concerned individuals a note informing them that a personal update was actually posted, and could they please read it as soon as they are connected.



In practice, this notification is sent in the shape of a direct message. This has the obvious disadvantage of increasing the number of such messages that anybody will receive, and I do know people who are going to be extremely irked by that. Still, the vast majority of Twitter users will find such a functionality valuable. And the fact a Firefox plugin is provided just gives it all even more flexibility.
