Headline: Tingz Adds More Widgets To Your Life

Great! Just what I needed. A dashboard of useless little trinkets showing off what I don’t have time to pay attention to, anyway. Honestly, Twidget is about the only Web 2.0-ish widget I ever use, and that’s rarely. From the brief article, this ties in OS X, iPhone, and Windows mobile. However, it seems like 2.0 companies had no problem whatsoever cranking out 2.5 different frontends to the same RESTful API (that’s another issue I’ll tackle later), so..what market are you ‘selling’ to? This is no different from that godawful Yammr launch; any company less than ___ people is already doing perfectly fine with private Twitter accounts for free, thank you, and any company more than ___ would likely rather spend 2 internal developer hours figuring out how to disseminate 140 characters to ___ people.
