Is chirp the new tweet?

A new website has been created for people who like to 'tweet' but are upset with unwanted twitter. ChristianChirp.com was launched last week by web guru James Paris.James Paris 

 

According to Paris, the idea was born out of frustration over the flap he received concerning a tongue-in-cheek article written about Rush Limbaugh.


"I wrote an article entitled 'Why the NFL was 100% Right in Banning Rush Limbaugh,' and I wrote this article in total sarcasm, comparing and contrasting what I thought was a ridiculous position for the NFL to allow Michael Vick back and then to not allow Rush Limbaugh to buy a share in a team because he was a conservative," explains Paris.
 
TwitterThe article was linked to his Twitter account and re-'tweeted.' Within one day, Paris alleges that he received hate messages from liberals who were duped into posting the article, thinking Paris was actually in favor of Limbaugh's NFL ban. As a result, Paris says he was suspended from Twitter without notice.
 
"But after eight days, my account came back on -- and within the first day I received a solicitation from a gay romance site," he reports.
 
Paris was not happy as he says his kids use that computer as well. So he started ChristianChirp.com. This new site is similar to Twitter, but it is more family-friendly as it blocks all adult content.
