Twitter - who needs that?

Sending SMS to friends is ok, but who would want to send to Twitter what they're doing currently (limited to 160 characters)? This seems like one of the craziest collaborative services that I found recently. Or maybe I'm getting old.

Instead, I just signed up for beta-testing Joost, a client-based P2P entertainment service. Formerly, it was called The Venice Project. Not after the italian city of that name, but named after the conference room where the idea for this service was born.

The Venice Project

What a name for a new project from the founders of KaZaa and Skype, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Fries. Seems to be a P2P streaming platform for TV content, removing the constraints of time-dependent (ordinary) television, according to GigaOm. It's currently in beta, allowing anyone to sign up, and I'm definitely curious to see what's it all about.
