Flutter

The video "Flutter: The New Twitter" takes a stab at micro-blogging websites. Through a mock documentary, the video demonstrates that Twitter is ridiculous. However, it is a little far fetched to assume that a site like Flutter will exist one day. The video claims that micro-blogging is too time consuming and nano-blogging is the new idea. It argues that people do not have time to type out 140 characters to describe what they are doing. Instead, they type a short 26 characters. This is hardly enough to get any message across. Flutter claims it will develop new technology such as the Flutter Glasses that show live updates inside your glasses. It also gives the example of the possibility of transmitting Flutter's "flaps" right to your brain. While Twitter may seem ridiculous to some, a website such as Flutter goes a little too far in its assumptions. Even though some of these ideas are possible, I do not think it is likely people will go this far because most of the video's claims are absurd.
