Society is changing at an incredible speed. Twitter is too slow. So Flutter was developed by 2 Sophomores at Stanford. Twitter is microblogging, Flutter is nanoblogging. The name describes the speed of the blog- the rate of flaps of humming birds wings. Regular bird tweets-too slow. Flutter allows only 26 characters in a “Flap”. Any message too long is automatically edited. They plan to develop an Iphone app. which allows Flutter to broadcast your every step. Walk into Startbucks -Flap:Kim Get Coffee. Should Nature call:Kim in Bathroom. In just 2 months 3.2M users have begun to Flutter. The next step:Flutter eyes. Highly sophisticated eye glasses connected to a wireless network. The wearer will see ticker-tape style lines on the inside of the lens scrolling new Flaps. Eventually Flutter will not be fast enough. The next step :Shutter-26 characters, no vowels. I’m wondering if this will give rise to the development of a new language? Guttural sounds-no vowels please. Perhaps similar to our early ancestors.

Flutter-Commuicate at the speed of Humming Bird’s Wings
Monday, April 6th, 2009SNOW
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Two weeks of warm, sunny days left mountains conditions univiting. However, things changed Sunday afternoon when a major storm blew in and it started to snow. The sun is finally peaking out from the clouds after 3 solid days of snow. The powder is deep-spring skiing at it’s best. Hop onto Frontier, United, Continental, Northwest or American Airlines and get to Steamboat. The Hayden Airport is open with most flights arriving on time throughout the storm. Call now and make that reservation. As you know It’s always fun in the Boat.
