Twitter is so popular now that there is a device on sale that allows a device user to check for tweets.  The device is called TwitterPeek made by Peek.  Peek is a company that is making single purpose devices such as email checking device.  TwitterPeek can be bought on Amazon.  Amazon lists TwitterPeek with 6 months of service will cost you $99.95, and the one that has a lifetime service will cost you $199.95.  I guess the lifetime service will allow you to check for Twitter for the life of the device without paying monthly fee for Internet connection and the bandwidth data for incoming and outgoing data between your device and Twitter.  Will this device be hot as Twitter?  Twitter is that necessary for some people that they need a TwitterPeek?  Source.

In my opinion, everyday web surfers do not need TwitterPeek, because these people don’t even need to be on Twitter that often.  Some people are on Twitter often since they have to check tweets from the people that they are following.  For an example, a famous celebrity is tweeting about a new role in a new film, this celebrity’s followers are definitely going to be all buzzy up about this new tweet.  Another use of Twitter is for the writers who have blogs and books and articles and websites, because the writers need to tweet about their new blog posts, articles, and so on, and on the same page their followers will know about the new content.  I can see TwitterPeek is useful for the people who have agenda for using Twitter, but in a sense you can sort of putting these people in the category of fanatic.

People who are using Twitter for news must have hated the long form content of the news, and so they prefer to read the headlines or a very short form content of the news such as in tweets.  I can see TwitterPeek be useful in this sense for everyday people, but news is hardly something that everyday people get excite over enough to go out and buy TwitterPeek.  They must have hated the long form content of the news — such as CNN on TV, articles on magazines, articles on newspapers, blog posts on blogs, and news articles on Internet — to a point that TwitterPeek is a must for them.  One good thing about TwitterPeek is its on-the-go as it’s very convenient to have it everywhere and even if you’re stuck in a toilet in a mall.  Still, one can never foretell how a fad goes, and so only TwitterPeek’s future can tell if TwitterPeek is a good idea; besides iPhone and other smart phones and other gadgets and laptops and desktops, Twitter now has one more device to be bragging about its presence on.  Twitter should be proud, because this time this gadget is exclusively for Twitter only!
