Web App: Everytweet

This item was filed under [ web apps ]

Everytweet is a web app that allows users to view a stream of random tweets.

Features:

  • simple web page displays a stream of random tweets, one at a time
  • tweeter’s avatar displayed (including link to twitter.com/username page)

The Good:

Everytweet isn’t so much an application as a diversion. It has a somewhat hypnotic effect to it, as completely random tweets scroll past. There are no other uses for it, no configurations, no other displays. It is simply there to provoke thought or reflection, and that’s not a bad thing. You can visit the Twitter.com page for each tweeter if you want to follow things further.

The Not-so-Good:

The mesmerizing quality of Everytweet can suck you in, running the risk of minutes, if not hours, of “wasted” time, unless you like that sort of thing.

Tweetwave.com rates it: ★★★

    This review is right on. I built everytweet.com and many people don’t quite “get it”. You’ve captured it perfectly – “There are no other uses for it, no configurations, no other displays. It is simply there to provoke thought or reflection, and that’s not a bad thing.” I like to think of it as a zen Twitter experience. Enjoy!
