15 People Who Rock On Rejaw

I signed up for Rejaw a while ago and I was actually taken with it’s interface. Even with all the Web 2.0 stuff out there and everybody jumping on the AJAX bandwagon, there are still only a few sites I’ve come across that actually use these technologies to provide a rich and interactive user experience.

Recently, a bonafide internet celebrity joined the ranks of satisfied Rejaw users and brought with him an army of followers (658, last I checked). There is definitely a community feeling on Rejaw that I don’t see on many other services and, combined with it’s features, I find it a lot of fun there.

I know, Robert. It’s freaking ridiculous. Also, you forgot to mention Kwippy. I am going to guess that people are always looking for something new, especially tech people like us. I’m also guessing that developers can’t help but try and do it better than Twitter did. If these two things were not true, I think we would all be just fine talking on IRC and ICQ, but I digress.

Rejaw allows you to embed your music, movies, and images right into your updates and allows for threaded conversation around those updates. Here are just a few people that I find to be catalysts for conversation on Rejaw. Be sure to check them out if you decide to join us.

Mona“So, I have a question. There are A LOT of people on Social Networking sites, who complain about Social Networking sites, yet they still participate. Why do they do that?” (Yes, THE Mona)

Chachafance“It’s funny how people are just now catching on to Rejaw, getting excited & joining. Don’t they realize they’ve been missing out for awhile now? lol”

Wayne Sutton“Hello everyone, so Leo started a Rejaw Rush? we’ve been here for 2 weeks shouting and whispering. So how do you like Rejaw so far?”

Gwen Sutton“Side effect of Rejaw, you find nice people.”

Avatar X“Leo Laporte is here. get ready for the flow of new users.”

Ciro“My public apologies to my followers…for having to endure my thread replies…me and AvatarX just beat a new Rejaw record…I believe…”

  • I really enjoyed this article as well, even though I didn't make the list. I especially liked your comment about IRC and ICQ.

    That said, I'm a big fan of Open Microblogging, and like that Identica and OpenMicroBlogger.com communicate via the Open MicroBlogging protocol.

    I like that Rejaw has a good interface. I would love to see Rejaw join the OMB federation.
  • LOL@Circo

    No problem, diozaliciouz18.

    Was it, thechannelc? Didn't really think about it in that aspect as I was writing. I guess I could have done a better job of exploiting the SEO aspects of the post...but that stuff is boring. :)
  • Hmm. A lot of name dropping.
