Google Plus and the Twitter Hurdle

Unless you’ve been living under some kind of rock, igneous, sedimentary, or even metamorphic, then you will have heard about the new service from that small time internet based company Google.

This new service is their full foray into the world of Social, we’ve had Google +1, Google Profiles and also Google Buzz.

They are pitting themselves against both Twitter and Facebook, and people who have tried it so far like it.

However, one of the issues I see for their battle against Twitter is that can Google Plus get the celebrity following? Facebook became popular because your friends were on it, we have that now. Twitter, in my opinion became popular for that chance to communicate with celebrities and see what they’re upto.

I don’t know if this will be possible with Google Plus though.

Twitter kills Peep?

So it appears the updates to Twitter have killed Peep for HTC Desire and possibly other devices.

Is this the start of their “stop making Twitter clients” argument?

Unless Peep and HTC can update and get around it, I think HTC will have to remove the app, and no doubt this will delay the release of Android 2.3.2 for HTC phones.
