A guest post from Viorel Spinu, co-founder of Sety (Java custom development company)
I would like to introduce to you a new Twitter related story that happened this Friday in Bucharest, Romania.
Friday, the 18th of September 2009, the first auto-tweet has been sent from a helium balloon during the local WebStock IT NewMedia conference.
The concept
As an example of unusual Twitter application, we have custom programmed an IPhone to automatically tweet a photo of the room every minute. Next, we have attached the IPhone to a helium filled balloon and let it fly during the WebStock conference (a local Bucharest IT conference), having so created “the highest twitter client ever”.
