Yedda Integrates Its Service With Twitter

An article by Ayelet Noff    5 Comments

Yedda, the knowledge sharing community, has just integrated their service with Twitter. To me, this is a great combination. Now I can let my Twitter friends know when I ask a question, when I answer a question, when I give a “thumbs up” to an answer, etc. I can decide which of my actions on Yedda I choose to share with my Twitter buddies. So now I basically have a bigger pool of people who can give me relevant answers to all my questions and who are probably interested in many of the topics that I am interested in. Check out my Twitter profile to see how it’s all displayed.

I also believe that through the questions I ask and answer, my Twitter contacts will get to know me even better than they already do. I must admit that I am not one of the “I just ate X” kind of twitterers. I am still having a bit of a hard time recording stuff like what I just had for lunch. That’s why to me this integration between Yedda and Twitter adds another dimension to my own personal Twitter experience.

Many other sites such as MyBlogLog (which displays your latest Twitter updates) and FaceBook (which allows you to update your Twitter status right on it) have also integrated their services with Twitter. I believe that Twitter is one of those simple applications that allows for so many different variations of usage, it’s amazing. People are using Twitter in such creative ways that probably not even its founders dreamt about when they came out with this product. Check this out: http://twitter.com/laundryroom

Getting back to Yedda, for all those of you who haven’t yet checked this community out, you definitely should. Yedda is a great place to ask and answer questions that relate to topics that interest you. Questions are answered by other users so there is no charge involved, and from personal experience I can tell you that I have usually received great answers to most of my questions. Each user specifies his tags of interest and only receives content based on that information. So I am not bothered with questions about topics that don’t interest me at all.

I applaud this new integration between two such great services. As I see it, we now have a blend of a knowledge community hungry for information with people who love to twitt. Not a bad combination.
