With all the recent buzz about Twitter, we thought; what's the big deal? Well, it's not a big deal, but a nice idea that works as a communication tool in some circumstances. Inorbital has just joined the Twitter ranks, with "tweets" ranging from industry news and highlights, to corporate announcements to big event news. We try and stay away from the banal that has cluttered Twitter.
Well, you ask what is Twitter? It is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read each others' updates, known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters, displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to other users - known as followers - who have subscribed to them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow
| | open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. The service is free over the Internet, but using SMS may incur phone service provider fees.
Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Twitter has gained notability and popularity worldwide. It is sometimes described as the "SMS of the Internet",[2] as it provides the functionality—via its application programming interface (API)—for other desktop and web-based applications to send and receive short text messages, often obscuring the Twitter service itself.
Here is a good article on how businesses can take advantage of Twitter.

The Inorbital team recently engaged in the Toronto FITC conference. You ask what is FITC? It began 8 years ago as the Flash Interactive Technology Conference.
| Today, FITC Toronto is one of the largest and longest running events of its kind in the world. With some of the most unique and engaging presenters from around the world, FITC Toronto is an information blitz of presentations, demonstrations, and panel discussions, sandwiched between our legendary FITC parties and abundant with networking opportunities. Topped off with the FITC Award Show, its three days and nights left us inspired, energized and up-to-date.
 | Three full days and nights of events, plus one day of optional pre-festival workshops | | Over 80 presentations and panels covering the Creative, Technical, and Business aspects of Flash and digital media | | Over 1000 attendees from around the globe | | Over 70 internationally renowned design and technology presenters | | Includes the annual FITC Design and Technology Awards Show | | This year's theme: Outside the Lines |
| | This year, it's all about thinking outside the box, or more specifically, outside the lines. What happens when we break free from the standard, the recommended, the known way of doing things, and instead sketch out our own maps? Be it in the technical, creative, or business area, change is the only constant. FITC Toronto 2009 was all about doing things differently.
We explored the creation of NEW ideas and concepts, where the limits of technology in design and art can be experimented with, reinvented, and redrawn. We learned how other designers and technologists are pushing limits that go beyond what their tools are designed to do, how they find alternate ways to get what they want, and push the boundaries of what is possible to avoid mediocrity.
All and all, a great 3 days indoors among our industries best. Can't wait until next year!

| Microsoft’s new search engine Bing excels at finding a good restaurant.
Unlike Google, which generally returns links to mere web sites, Bing crawls listings at review services like Yelp.com and CitySearch. It then summarizes the results and displays a scorecard for each, rating things like service, drinks, food, wait time, lunch offerings, and so on, all laid out in a neat comparative table.
Bing is also great at finding travel information. Activating the travel tab puts you in a full-service reservation system. From there you can book tickets and even get tips about when to buy to get the best price.
Wired.com was invited to test-drive the new search engine last week during its beta phase, under the old moniker,
| | Kumo, and we discovered lots of little gems like these.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer unveiled Bing.com to the public on Thursday, as expected, at the All Things D conference in San Diego. It will go live worldwide by June 3.
But if Microsoft has come up with a clear improvement over Live.com — the also-ran search portal that Bing replaces — it doesn’t quite go far enough to make us feel that it’s time to dump Google.
