Internet World Traveller

This blog entry is about a Twitter project which is kind of cool called inwotr.com (INWOTR is a shortening for INternet WOrld TRaveller). inwotr.com is created by a person who wants to travel the world using the Internet. He/she writes:

"My first goal is to locate and follow one Twitter user from every country and later on, expand it to every city. I’m going to explain the reasoning behind using Twitter later on. I’m not sure how or if this journey is going be possible but if I can accomplish my goal, I’ll share it with everyone on here. After Twitter, I’m going to try to adapt and expand this journey to other social networking sites."

So he has started to add Twitter users to the travel map of his. I was notified and filled in a form as a request to be the representative in Sweden which I now also have become.Take a look at the map and route and you'll notice me in Sweden. By the way, we can see yet another place where the API of Google Maps has become useful.

It feels kind of abstract though and one wonders how the travel actually will take place. Nevertheless I think it is interesting and have a feeling that things will become more clear later on.

As you might have noticed if you are visiting this site now and then, we are using Twitter quite a lot on Wohill. Currently it is me, randolph and our honored guest twitterer Haddoc who are contributing. Thank's a lot for making this site a bit more alive Haddoc!

You are also more than welcome to join us if you would like to. Have a look at the right sidebar for more information and send us a mail. Of course you will need an account on Twitter first. If you are new to the twitter concept I have written some posts already but the short version is that Twitter is a service where you can post updates or small messages to. People can follow each others updates and messages for different users can be aggregated into other sites (like on Wohill).

Follow me if you are interested and I will follow you back. I am quite sure Randolph and Haddoc feels the same way
