    People are really milking social sites for all they're worth. I mean, there are hundreds and maybe even thousands of websites/projects/apps just for Twitter. It's too much shit to keep up with. *head spins*

    Although it's a not a Twitter APP, but this photo project was also inspired by twitter - http://www.vimeo.com/5239642

    tried to get people to submit content for an artwork not robot driven, wanted permission and active engagement...but no luck... the resulting works I created using friends FB status (with permission) is at www.yum.vic.edu.au/semaphore if interested.

    Nice list! I especially like Timetweets.
    Twitter has announced they will incorporate geocoding into their service. Once they do that, there will be great new opportunities for Twitter art. You could easily plot your followers on a nice map for instance, like I did here for my project - where I already have the coordinates of all followers: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33305514@N06/39495...

    You may create a gallery on the fly using web galleries RSS (like of flickr, picasa, photobuckets , etc" ) then view them with power twitter. here is an example I made:

    Thank you so much for featuring Twitterfountain! Just a quick note to everyone: we're working on an update that we hope to release before year's end that will address a lot of the feedback that we have received until now. You can find a preview on our site: http://www.twitterfountain.nl/preview-the-new-t...

    Is this useful? No, but neither is ice cream. :-) Glad to see art bubbles up to the surface amidst the crushing weight of technology.

    I would definitely add Wordle [url]http://www.wordle.net/[url]. It generates fantastic word clouds from words taken from URL of any blog, blog feed, or any other web page that has an Atom or RSS feed - that means also Twitter profile.
    Although it's not a dedicated Twitter-to-Art project, it's worth considering next time.
  • nizejpodpisany · 2 months ago
    And obviously Twitter Magnets should be here [url]http://twittermagnets.com/[url]

    Have a look at Nooblast project, although it's a little bit more than a Twitter app. It is inspired by the Noosphere concept, and visually compares real-time network crowd buzz for two trends as an abstract cloud around the globes. And twitter surely is among the sources of shout entities.

    What exactly is it ?
  • Outtacontext · 1 month ago
    About a year an a half ago I found myself in a dentist's office waiting to find out whether I'd need a root canal (ugh!). When I tweeted my location I suddenly was being followed by an endodontist from Canada. A few tweets later (and after it was determined I did need the dental work) I decided to tweet the whole procedure live right from the chair: http://outtacontext.com/twitter --Think of this as a performance art project. Dentists and endodontists from across North America were following me live during the procedure, asking questions along the way. My doctor was a great sport about it and stopped every so often so I could update my tweets.

    Just saw this great post and I would like to introduce Arty Tweets: Use your Twitter Profile Picture for your artistic expression and support this with a tweet.

    The creative expression is a slogan as an image in your profile picture, just a single image which is supported by your tweet or something else.

    The only prerequisite is the use of your Twitter profile picture.

    Then you send a tweet and make a screenshot of the tweet (e.g. by screen hunter).
    This screenshot is uploaded to for example Mobypicture.com.
    Your work of art is complete when you have sent a tweet to @ArtyTweet including a link to your screenshot.

    Afterwards, you change your profile picture back to the normal one.
    The accompanying tweet and the screenshot will then be published on http://artytweet.posterous.com/ .

    We just get started but we hope we will receive a lot of Arty Tweets.

    Do you create one?

    Cheers!
