Flutter takes the idea of Twitter and makes it shorter

April 6, 2009 @ 4:10 pm

One of Twitter’s unique qualities is the 140 character limit they place on all tweets, essentially forcing you to get to the point and keep your messages short. Sometimes though, even 140 characters is too much to read and when you multiply that number by the number of people you are following, the amount of actual characters and words being read becomes incredibly large.

So how do you solve this problem? You stop using Twitter and get with Flutter, a brand-new nano-blogging concept that restricts your messages — or flaps — to 26 characters or less. Go head, think simple, and get flapping.

The Mactini

The Peter Serafinowicz Show on BBC Two put out this fantastic parody of Apple product and marketing using what they call a Mactini — the tiniest Mac ever conceived.

But wait, there’s more, so just keep watching until the end to see what this fake Steve Jobs has up his sleeve!

Tata NANO: world’s cheapest car

And no, that headline is not necessarily talking about quality of the car either. This is straight up cheap as in PRICE. Yep, the world’s cheapest mass production vehicle is now made by Tata Motor Company based in India.

The world’s cheapest car is called NANO and is available for 100,000 rupee, or about $2500 USD.

Dubbed as “The People’s Car”, the NANO is on the verge of revolutionizing travel for a country of 1.1 billion people.

The car features 4 standard doors, 5 seats for the family, and just about everything you’d find in a regular car without the major price tag. The car is tiny too, measuring just 3.1 meters in length, 1.5 meters in width, and 1.6 meters in height. And heck, if that’s enough to pack into such a small price, the NANO also is “environmentally friendly”, which is probably a good thing if 1.1 billion people are about to go out and buy this thing.

And unlike a Smart Car which can possibly put you at risk of DEATH if you’re in an accident, the Tata NANO reportedly exceeds all vehicle performance regulations. Here, build your own Tata NANO here. Check out some more photos of it over at Autoblog.
