Horse business comes to microblogging
Dan Thornton | June 29, 2009It’s not just Twitter that is spawning television shows in the microblogging world, with the launch of Horsetweet, a microblogging platform for horse lovers, which accompanies U.S. reality TV show ‘Hard Reins to Hold’.
Both the site and the TV show are the work of father and daughter Matt and Loagan Fury, who run Loagan ranches, around which the TV show is based.
Horsetweet itself is on the Shout’Em platform, which allows you to ‘roll your own microblogging community’. Which means you can sign up for the site, or login with your existing Twitter or Windows Live details.
The aim is to accumulate 10,000 members on Horsetweet by the end of 2009 – could this be the start of more disaggregated microblogging for specialist areas of interest?
