Press release distribution service for Twitter, seriously

Journalism.co.uk has launched a new service to distribute press releases to mobile devises via Twitter. Seriously. The service aims to “target journalists and bloggers on the move by sending alerts to their mobile devices.” “Journalists can sign up to receive free SMS alerts to their mobile telephone whenever a press release relevant to their subject area is published on Journalism.co.uk.” Is it just us, or are journalists not really going to go for this?

Do you like Twitter polls? Yes or no?

Online polling tool Strawpoll now allows individual users to create their own polls on Twitter, according to Mashable. Simply enter your question and the multiple choice answers and they will be sent to your followers as a tweet. As the respond, their answers are graphed. Writes GeekMommy (@geekmommy): “It’s either a great tool - or going to be one of the more annoying things to pop up in the twitter stream. I’m already over the Qik video-streaming-come-chat notices, the Bright-kite-says-I’m-at-1234-main-street, and the dozen other add-on autoscripts out there.” What do you think? Do Twitter apps add or detract from the experience? Read the story.
