Project Idea: Bitchy Tweets
Bitchy Tweets would be a website where you quickly rank a person’s twitter stream on how much they complain about stuff, and determine their positive/negative tweet ratio. The result would be a ranking of where they sit on the complaintometer.
I’m imagining you enter a user’s name (or just bitchytweets.com/domo_domo), and are given a quick ajax listing of their last 15 tweets. You can then just quickly check off the ones that are considered bitchy. You click ‘I’m done’ and you get one of those dials similar to DSL speed test, of where the person ranks on the bitchometer. A link to this graph for future reference is given.
A history of rankings would be kept, so hopefully overtime the ranking could become more accurate, and given an average as the result of the ranking.

Release the Bitchytweets! There is a fine line between “not amused by man putting out cigarette on my shoe” and epic rage over paper napkins and a lost Dar Williams album.

Yeah, AND THEN you need Bitchytweet cards made up so when you’re in the line at the grocery store and some lady is losing her cookies over paper towel coupons you can select the appropriate card and say “ma’m, you rate a 7 out of 10 on the Bitchytweet scale. Please act accordingly.”

What we are doing here is leap frogging passive aggressive. We are building a toolset to empower the people to become post-aggressive, snarky little jerks. It’s like you thought being passive aggressive couldn’t be more cowardly, and then all of the sudden…it COULD.
