Twitter’s Stream of Conscious

Posted: April 29th, 2008 | Author: Seth | Filed under: Design, Inspiration | Tags: , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

On Twitter’s blog yesterday they have listed Twistori, calling it a “social experiment based on Twitter.”  I would like to think of it more as Twitter’s focused stream of conscious.  For those of you that don’t know what a stream of conscious is or don’t use your Twitter as one already (like me), it is the idea of writing whatever comes to your mind at that moment.  For example: hot dogs are pretty tasty, but I had pork for dinner.  Why is that girl talking to me on AIM?  I really wish that she was hotter, then I would go out with her.  Jellyfish are nice… et cetera, et cetera.

As you can see, it can go in any direction.  Twistori has focused this stream of concious in to several categories.  I noticed that this was also done at WeFeelFine; probably because the creator over laps.  However, WeFeelFine, explores more than just the six or so emotions that Twistori does; making it a much deeper, more satisfying stream of conscious.

So if you have a few minutes or are just nosey about what other people are feeling, then check both the sites out.  Here is a brief preview of Twistori - I stole the image off the Twitter blog.
