Podobo (www.podobo.com) is a twitter variant that seems to encourage more philosophical musings than its better known counterpart, and it does this without losing the light and fluffy ‘web 2.0′ aesthetic and social aspects we’ve all come to expect.

Despite it being a one-man operation, podobo seems to achieve the goal of getting users to purge their brain matter into a steady stream of random thoughts from around the world, even incorporating maps into the mix.

Whether or not this will take off amongst the many twitter-alikes, or just be another face in the crowd is anyones guess, but it’s nice and simple, and I thought it deserved a mention.

From the site..

Podobo is about ideas and thoughts. It’s about finding out what people are thinking and, linking them together.

As with most start-ups mentioned here, the site is still in the early stages of development, so expect to see more features being rolled out as it matures.

In the end, the deciding factor for this type of venture is the userbase - and that seems to be podobo’s biggest obstacle right now. Watch this space…
