Do you freak the twitter scene? I thought so. Some of us use it for fun. Others to promote a business or otherwise enrich our careers. Still, many of use it for both and for this [likely] majority of twitter’s user base, it can be difficult to address all of your followers and remain relevant to all of them.

Enter blellow. It’s a “productivity microblog for professionals.” It’s a good way to share and seek out tips, best practices, leads, advice, and other information with professionals in your line of business. You can join topical groups to discuss specific issues, which is nice. You get the picture.

My take is that blellow is cool, and could definitely be useful. I’ve already got some handy tips on getting acquainted with GIMP from the group dedicated to that piece of software.

Specialized microblogging platforms are the future, in my opinion. They will prove better tools to help us find relevant people with whom to connect. BUT, there is one piece of the puzzle missing before the use of multiple microblogging platforms becomes bearable. We need an app that can sign us into multiple platforms and allow us to monitor and interact with any platforms we belong to. It’s just way too much trouble to manage more than one microblog profile, if you ask me.
