It's Woofer Time! The Anti-Twitter

First of all I love to grab all of my social media news and information from mashable.com. It's an amazing site, and I certainly can grab a lot of useful and interesting information from the site. Today I came across an interesting article titled Woofer: The 1400 Character Anti-Twitter. I use Twitter quite often, but I'm not a major user by any means. I do use it to keep in touch with other professionals in my line of work as well as communicate talking points and other personal needs.

Woofer appears to be the opposite of Twitter in the truest form being that Twitter is microblogging and Woofer is all about macroblogging. Twitter requires you to keep all your posts and updates under 140 characters. They are to be short and quick snippets of information and news that others can follow and use.

Woofer makes it blatantly apparent that they are not or in any way affiliated with Twitter in comical fashion. It's tag line is "when 140 characters isn't nearly enough." They actually require you to write a minimum of 1400 characters before allowing you to post. Talk about exhausting! You can also post your Twitter user name so that you can be recognized on the site. You can get a look at all users who have posted on Woofer as well. I find this whole concept very amusing. It's much like a parody.

This seems to be a front to get you to click through to another site created by the same people, Shuffletime. This site's concept is very interesting and seems to take the best links of the internet and turn them into game cards to play. I will likely look into this more into detail, but for now woof your life away.
