I saw this at MWC 2008 this year and just got around to posting it. TWATR.NET is a social network for adults. It’s very similar to Twitter but you can share photos, video streams, and audio along with the standard “What are you doing” fare. It’s based in Amsterdam and they’ve secured 2 million euro in funding so far from angel investors including some folks from AOL and Yahoo!. Apparently you can get a beta invite by emailing [email protected]. I haven’t worked with it very much but the live video streaming was in HD when I saw it and they said it should work with any webcam on almost any browser — including the ultra-small Nokia N810. WiMAX streaming porn anyone?
