FillUs.in - Microblog The Other Way Around

Microblogging is a sort of El Dorado to many – it is entirely made out of gold and they all want to get in, yet they can not find a point of entry no matter how hard they try. Twitter is so simple as a concept that it is naturally difficult to try and match it, let alone better it.

Its loyal user base alone takes care of adding functionalities at every step of the way, and its growth has been exponential. That will not prevent others from trying and coming up with micro-blogging services with a difference or a sort of a twist at the very least.



That is the exact case as far as this new service goes. Essentially, it lets anybody post updates that take the form of answers to specific questions. For example, you can tell everybody what you are listening to or watching this way, whereas you can also share the way you feel by typing in your prevalent mood.

Does it work? Well, it does. And quite competently, too. Will it catch on? It is hard to say. There are not that many people who have developed a Twitter allergy yet so as to go out looking for alternative services. It is good to have alternatives, especially when a service is not working. But if the service works well enough to begin with alternatives can stand as superfluous, even when they are well-executed.
