ChittR Wants to be the Indian Twitter

People who have been following me on Twitter know that I’m semi-addicted to it (in bursts).
I totally love the scope of what Twitter allows me to do; what I don’t like is that it doesn’t allow me to send updates from my mobile phone using an Indian number.
Enter chittR, India’s own micro-blogging service, with broadly the same set of features that Twitter started with. You can send and receive updates from web, IM and mobile. You can also follow other people’s updates and track who is following your updates.
It’s only a start, however and the team behind chittR needs to ask themselves three questions -
- How to give people who are already using Twitter a reason to start using chittR?
One reason can be the ability to send updates to an Indian mobile number. The other reason can be a very cool Indian themed design. The third reason can be the presence of lots of friends who are not on Twitter.
- How to improve user-experience, especially for those who are already using Twitter?
