Portland-based Grabb.it has announced the release of a new microblogging feature for its users.
Following the lead of services like Twitter, Jaiku, and Pownce, the new Grabb.it feature allows users to post short messages (less than 140 characters) and provides a feed to which others can subscribe. An example can be found here.
The recent development efforts—like the iPhone interface—have led to a growth spurt for Grabb.it, forcing them to have deal with (welcome) growing pains.
Word around the campfire—if Twitter is a campfire—is that there is a new SplashCast player currently undergoing testing.
[UPDATE] More SplashCast folks twittering about testing, testing. This leads me to wonder if there is some Twitter hook in the new SplashCast player. Or at least the ability to “post this to Twitter.” Of course, they could just be testing, seeing as their posts are coming via Twitterific.
Stay tuned. I’ll be sure to post more news on the latest SplashCast release as it becomes available.
