7 Twitters Of The World
January 10, 2008 - 2:25 am PDT - by Sean P. Aune 9 Comments
Twitter: easy to love, easy to clone. The first startup a young, aspiring web developer might want to try and build will probably be some version of Twitter, which can clearly be seen from all the local/regional Twitter clones we’re encountering every day. Some are awful, but some are quite good; we bring you a small sampling of what’s out there in the world of Twitter clones!

Feecle.jp - A Japanese site that has the same basic premise as Twitter, but, as with most things Japanese, it has a very different design aesthetic.
Frazr.com - A German/French Twitter clone. While it does have a bit of a resemblance to Twitter, it does serve up some original Ajax in the form of word balloons coming out of the members on the front page as you hover.
Komoo.cn - Is “Komoo” Chinese for “Twitter”? It sure looks like Twitter. A white halo around the name, those weird blue blue bubbles on the background. Unfortunately, by the end of this text you’ll see that this kind of blatant plagiarism is a common occurence.
Numpa.nl - Numpa differs from Twitter design-wise, but it has the same basic feel. The fact that someone went berserk with a Web 2.0 button maker doesn’t help, though.
Oseflol.com - Well, what can you say about this site from France? At least they changed the color of the blue background and logo? Awfully kind of them.
Robisz.pl - This clone hails from Poland, and beyond a few color changes, it’s pretty much an exact copy. Too bad they went with such poor colors.
Turulcsirip.hu - Hmm there’s that funny blue background again… and the white halo around the logo… I’m sure it’s all pure coincidence.

Numpa aint no clone of Twitter, you have false information there. Numpa lauched a short message system in the early 2000 years but back then it didn’t get picked up like you see these days.
The latest numpa is a rewrite of their own system and has (besides comparable service) nothing to do with twitter.
Keep it up !

Turulcsirip isn’t a clone - it’s just a remixed version of twitter, using the API.
The main function of it is to collect the hungarian speaking twitterers and provide them with interfaces suitable for this culture - eg. WAP interface, hungarian localization, smileys etc.
It’s useful to get know other hungarian people around the microblogosphere - if they start to tweet, they somehow enter into this list. There’s a “friendmaker” mode of it for such.

The last one, turulcsirip.hu, is NOT a clone. It is a Twitter mash-up bringing together the Hungarian Twitter community. It uses the Twitter API and adds some nice thing. It hase 3 view modes: normal, friendly, and all-in-one. the second shows the tweets of your friends’ friends and the all-in-one show all the Hungarian tweets.

If you’re looking for clones, here are two from Hungary: http://mitcsinalsz.hu/, http://pzn.csacsa.hu/
