How To Twitter

I consider myself an early adaptor of all things cool on the net. But when it came to Twitter (the next generation instant messaging) I held back the urge to sign-up at lightening speed, because I thought it would be more of an interruption, than anything else.

How To Twitter

But my perception changed after stumbling on this article by Jeremiah Owyang SR Analyst at Forrester Research, for social computing.

On his blog, he has a well thought article on “How To Twitter”. Check it out here.
Thanks Jeremiah!

Of course I’m now Twittering with my new Twitter account

Where’s Portugal’s Web 2.0 Market?

Leaving the Gym earlier this morning, a street ad caught my attention. Which is really rare. This tends to only happen during the summer months when Super Bock runs their sexy and creative marketing campaigns … I guess sexy alcohol ads grab my attention. Not sure what this says about me.

Anyway, this particular ad, didn’t have any sexual overtones or the creative stroke of a super bock ad – it simply caught my attention because of the URL petnet.pt … since you rarely find ads promoting online businesses here in Portugal, other than Sapo or Vodafone, I got curious.

So, I pulled over and snapped this shot of the ad:

Petnet.pt Portugal

Petnet is a social community for pet lovers here in Portugal – a Web 2.0 type of business. It’s great to see web 2.0 Portuguese brand.

I hope to see more of these in the coming months — so i’ll be keeping my eyes peeled and look forward to talking about them here.

{update} Another new social community that has emerged from inside of Portugal - Adegga.com - a social wine discovery.
