Yet Another Twitter Clone - OOOH This One Has Pictures

By Twittown Editors - Aug 15, 2007

It seems like there are more and more Twitter clones every week now. Honestly, not sure what the point of these are in the North American / English speaking market. What is the reason NOT to use Twitter. There are hundreds of apps and 3rd party offerings and add ons to customize and use Twitter as you see fit.

This latest one is called Yappd . It is pretty much an exact copy of Twitter except for the fact that you can include pictures. Also, you can not recieve updates from friends on SMS or email. Other than that, it is the same except less developed and maybe not ready to scale (not that we think it will be popular enough to need to scale anyway). Here is a screenshot (that is as close as we are going to get to signing up for Yappd).

We will be sticking with trusty old Twitter , if you want to send pictures with Twitter see Dave Winer's Flickr to Twitter solution . Or wait until Twitter Inc. comes out with this feature. It has been said before but we will say it again now... Who the heck wants to get all their friends to sign up and move onto yet another platform?
