Twingr Lets You Create Your Own ‘Twitter’
By Anna Johnson on November 18th, 2008First there was Ning, which allowed you to create your own social media site. Now there’s Twingr, which allows you to create your own ‘Twitter’.
You choose any group you like, and Twingr, the brainchild of KillerStartups.com, will host your version of Twitter on its servers. Currently in closed private alpha, the service will allow you to send out 140-character messages, follow what other people in your Twingr group are saying, and also send direct messages to them.
In addition, Twingr offers a box where you can paste links without taking up any of your allotted characters.
