Twitter starts to invade . . . er, enter MMOs

There doesn't seem to be stopping Twitter from putting itself in, well, anywhere and everywhere. Even playing an MMO game isn't an escape from those 140 character messages. A new third party program called TweetCraft has allowed people to see "tweets" from their followers while playing Blizzard's hit game.

And that's not all. In a new post on the Champions Online web site, Cryptic Studios' Bill Roper states, "We're really excited to get in-game tweet testing out to our beta players. This feature is in initial testing stages and will most likely have issues." Will we see "tweets" while we play Modern Warfare 2? We wouldn't be surprised.

That doesn't sound quite right. Are you sure you don't mean "has allowed people to see tweets from the people they are following"?Posted at 9:24PM on Jul 4th 2009 by Babylonian

You can't be so consistent on your position as far as technology is concerned because a new facility is finally introduced by which people could see "tweets" from their followers while playing Blizzard's hit game.................
