Is it possible to build a web application that really fits people needs? Of course you can: to know what people need you must ask them.
This is how the idea of WorkOutLoud - a new product built with ruby on rails - was born.
WorkOutLoud will share its construction process on the web with the users.

Twitter vs WorkOutLoud
Tools like Twitter are revolutionary. They are changing the way people learn, collaborate and socialize and represent the evolution of tools like Blogger, Movable Type and WordPress. Twitter was born from the same guy that first made money with a blogging platform, Evan William. Twitter is the easiest way to "share the moment", using less than 140 characters to tell others what are you doing or ... thinking, wondering, etc. Twitter is a general purpose tool, not specifically thought for business, nevertheless it's core idea can be rethought and applied to professional needs.
The main difference between professional and consumer targets is that ordinary people use tools like Twitter to be notified about small and often useless notes published by interesting people. They want to be alerted as soon as their friends "tweet".
Business people want to publish what they do if only to avoid other people interfering in their workday activity.
Twitter was created to socialize. WorkOutLoud is conceived to help you work well.
