Together with co-founder Ernest Mistiaen, the month old company already released their first product: Tweetz.tv.

Tweetz.tv shows tweeted videos. Three different channels are offered: My TV, Public TV and Search TV. My TV shows the videos that are posted by the people you follow, Public TV shows all videos posted in the public timeline and with Search TV you can look for tweeted videos on a specific topic.

We wish Jaap and Ernest all the best and we hope that Ape55, Tweetz.tv and all their future products become a huge success!

I updated it every 5 minutes and in between I kept hitting the refresh button to see if there was any news from me friends. I liked the concept of Twitter but it just took too much of my time, so I decided to stop and delete my account.

After reading We Travel in Tribes I got interested again. As a social network I like Twitter because it keeps me up to date on what my friends are doing. But it’s more, like Rands points out:

I want to know more people, and sure, it’s interesting to see what they’re up to, but what I really want to know is what is going on inside their heads with a minimum of fuss. I want to see how they see the world. This is why I follow people on Twitter.

With this in mind I created a new Twitter account and added some friends to my list. I hope I can control my twitter time better then last time :-) This is me: http://www.twitter.com/hertog
