Twtspire uses the twitter search api to find tweets with key phrases like "I wish there was a site that..."<p>Hopefully it'll help give an idea of some of the things that people actually want, and inspire a weekend project or two.<p>I would love to hear some feedback.

Feature idea: Add a "This is a good idea" button so users can vote up uncommon and plausible ones.

Great job! This could definitely be useful to find something people already want, especially if you could keep a tally of the most wished for ideas. What did you develop it in?<p>I also like the logo of the two birds talking. Did you make it yourself, or did you get it from somewhere?<p>One thing that I see could use a little improvement is the "next" and "previous" links. Right now they just blend in to the background. You should try making them stand out, and maybe make them look a bit more button-like. It would also be worth testing "next" and "previous" links on the top of the content.

I love this. They seem to fall into a few categories: Silly and impossible, "I want a website to take my boredom away," and the mildly disturbing. Oh, and some not horrible ideas. <i>thumbs up</i>

Nice project. What language did you use? Python, Php, Ruby? and what framework? I'm just curious :)

Good idea + looks great. I found a slight glitch and couldn't find a better way to contact you so here goes:<p>When I clicked like it went from a nice looking FB Like button to <a href="http://imgur.com/f5AID" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/f5AID</a>

Something I'd be very interested to see are the ideas that <i>multiple people</i> are asking for.<p>And then the next thing I would want is a fast way to throw up an ad for the app in question, just to see how many clicks it gets.

Cool idea!<p>If nothing else, some of the posts will make you laugh: "someone should make a site called wetpussies.org and upload nothing but videos/pictures of people giving their cat a bath. "<p>Great job, btw.

I read this as "twat spire" in en-GB: twat is a word somewhere between "pussy" and "cunt" in British English. Just FWIW. I guess you're not British?

See also: <a href="http://twiteye.com/" rel="nofollow">http://twiteye.com/</a><p>That one is more scrolly, and searches for a bit more than just 'app' ideas.

Great idea! I like it a lot... sorry I can't be more helpful/critical but it's working nicely for me and it looks good! Well done.

That's a great idea, I'm sure you can get quite a few good ideas if you watch it for long enough. Good job!
