You have been tweeting and re-tweeting on Twitter so far. But the next big thing seems to be this little thing called “pretweeting”.
Pretweeting is all about predicting the next Twitter trends. For example, the top trends right now are H1N1, Snow Leopard, Labor Day or AT&T. If you can look into the crystal ball and guess what the next trend will be on Twitter, or what people will be tweeting about the most, then you are well-suited for pretweeting.
The Pretweeting app works pretty much like a virtual stock market. It gives you US$10,000 in virtual money to buy and sell the latest trends. Every word has a rate and you can buy many words and sell a particluar one off if the word increases in popularity. The in-trend words are costlier. So all you have to do is buy the words that you predict would be the next hot topic of discussion on Twitter. If it really happens and tweeple start talking about it, then your US$10,000 grows. Even if it doesn’t, don’t worry, just start over!
The application is fun. Some people are also predicting that this can be launched with real money, wherein companies wanting to keep up with the latest trends would pay pretweeters. But even if this does take place, ground realities will prevent it from happening anytime soon.
OG’s recommended “trends” to buy: ‘iPod’ , ‘apple’ , ‘camera’ . These could well make the next trend with Apple’s music event just round the corner.
