two awesome uses of Twitter

Most times thinking richly doesn’t require a ton of code and a massive design team.

Here’s two sweet examples:

1. Weallhatequickbooks.com
A company by the name of Less Accounting set out to create a “Quickbooks beater.” Then they created a interactive billboard of sorts by taking a one page landing page titled and URL’d “We All Hate Quickbooks” and then piped every mention of Quickbooks (usually negative) from Twitter into the page. Not the nicest thing to look at, but I think it works really hard as a pithy and valuable landing page full of tips, collective consciousness and commentary.

2. Coroflot Job Feed
RSS on steroids. That’s pretty much how I’d sum this up. It is only been up a week and is already nearing 100 followers.
