Hi HN,<p>I built this on July 4th, while pondering what effect Twitter has on modern day communication.<p>It analyzes the grade level of a Twitter account by using a modified version of the SMOG readability index and tells you your &quot;smartest&quot; and &quot;un-smartest&quot; tweets. Beak also tells you how you rank vs other Tweeters. There&#x27;s also a leaderboard.<p>This was a fun day project for me and I&#x27;d really appreciate any feedback, comments, and suggestions.<p>Thanks, jl

Didn&#x27;t seem to work so well for me. &quot;Good news - float textures have arrived in iOS 8 beta 3 WebGL&quot; doesn&#x27;t seem all that &#x27;um-smart&#x27;<p><a href="https://twitter.com/marcosscriven/status/486449369005056000" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;marcosscriven&#x2F;status&#x2F;486449369005056000</a>

Interesting - TIME.com cloned this idea today without referring to Beak . I suppose it could have been a coincidence though? <a href="http://time.com/2958650/twitter-reading-level/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;time.com&#x2F;2958650&#x2F;twitter-reading-level&#x2F;</a>
