Twitter curation tool
« on: May 21, 2012, 04:00:13 PM »
Had an idea for a tool kicking around in my head for a bit, so we decided to build a demo of it on friday. We've just put it live:

http://twixor.com

It's a touch light on documentation... and presentation... and to be honest, features at the moment. However it'd be great to get some early feedback whilst we decide where to go with it.  It takes 1 click to try it, then wait a couple of minutes and click refresh to see what it is all about (yeah - hi-tek !).

The original idea was a tool to collect the stuff that people I follow tweet so that I don't miss the important stuff.  In particular I found myself looking at things more when I had seen more people I follow tweet it - using that mention as a quality indicator. That's really what it does at the moment.

We have ideas to expand it, but just wondering if it seems like it could be useful.  All feedback welcome, even if it is just a WTF?
Ta'

*perks up* I love this concept.  The thing I hate about Twitter is that it is like a room full of people yelling at each other about different topics.  The noise of it is absolutely overwhelming to me.

Cool, that's nice to hear. When I think of stuff like this I am never sure whether it is just me being odd. My team have perfected the glazed over nod for when I burble excitedly about something, so I don't get much feedback there.

Please do give it a go. It is ROUGH around the edges... and some of the middle as well. However if people think it has promise we'll build on it.

Cool tool. I'd like the option to show more links, and/or a way to look at different time frames.

Nice. Signed up and the bot is chewing data. Will report back.

The little bugger doesn't tell you when he's done yet (mostly due to us arguing about what is "done").  We have added a few extras though - like the ability to check results for custom date ranges.  More changes coming on the next quiet day.

I like it. Would be neat if you'd have an app to use it on the go.
