Truemors: Tell the world (the niche things)!

Well, Guy Kawasaki’s Truemors has debuted recently. What is it?
Truemors is a web site that enables you to “tell the world”—within the bounds of good taste and the law anyway. You can post your rumors, news, and sightings, and anyone with web access can read and rate them within minutes. We wish to acknowledge the pioneering and inspiring work of Twitter, BoredAt, Digg, PostSecret, PopSugar, and HotOrNot in this field.
Indeed, Truemors is a sort of combination of Twitter, Jaiku and Digg.
Actually, I like this idea: sometimes we got the rumor, news, gossip in the walk, but it’s too short to put it as a blog post. Just now, it’s no problem anymore. You can post it by your text messaging to Truemors and everybody can vote and pick it up as a popular or true rumors!
But if Kawasaki chooses a niche category (like tech rumours or celebrity gossips or whatever) for its first launch, I think it will have a good effect or warm response. Some bloggers including TechCrunch criticizes that they are launching very broadly.
However, it’s the matter of time.
I think — and I hope — Truemors will have its own community and niche.
Welcome to Web2.0, Guy!
