TWITTER


LAST.FM


Per Mat Honan's Gizmodo piece today on the lost origins of Twitter:

"Twitter founder Jack Dorsey had a background in messenger culture. He had even launched a dispatch software startup called D-Net, back in 1999. He was also captivated by his friends [sic] status messages on AOL Instant Messenger. He wanted to combine the two. And in an era when AIM was king, he did just that."


So I wasn't wrong two and a half years ago when I pointed out just how logical it was to view Twitter as a successor of sorts to AIM.
