I've owned this domain name for almost a year and it's going to expire soon, so I thought I'd give it up (registrar transfer) to any hackers who might want it.<p>So, if you want the domain, pitch a cool idea for it in the comments, and the best pitch wins :) You're not actually obligated to make the idea, this is just for fun.<p>I'll pick the best at the end of the day my time (5pm NZST) and give you my email address. Make as many pitches as you like.<p><i>Just a heads-up: transferring to a different registrar (I'm on NameCheap) usually costs ~$5-10.</i>
SnapTwitter is archive.org for twitter -- historical snapshots with a high degree of time precision. Be able to roll forward and backwards through time to see (and search) all of twitter at any point. Maybe it even has a visual timeline at the top of the page that lets you navigate through time.<p>I'm up to my neck in my startup (see below), so I couldn't actually take on another project, but I thought I'd throw the idea out there.<p>--<p>Want to try voting for snaptwitter.com proposals on my site focused on brainstorming? (yes, signup required, but it's quick and easy and spam-free)<p><a href="http://www.stormweight.com/lists/snaptwitter-com-giveaway?p=ovHBEi" rel="nofollow">http://www.stormweight.com/lists/snaptwitter-com-giveaway?p=...</a>
OK, here is my pitch...<p>A Twitter interface/client/search that shows #awsnap hashtags.<p>Basically, you can play the dozens with someone via Twitter, or just trade (good natured?) insults via snaptwitter.com
SnapTwitter is a digest service for twitter. Many people can't read tweets as they are posted (think: people behind corporate firewalls that block twitter). SnapTwitter would collect feeds on a periodic basis (daily, weekly, every-three-days, etc) and send them to a user via email. Yeah, I know that twitter is real-time, but some times I can't or don't want to read tweets as they are posted to the web. I've often wished to have a summarized version of say @zeldman 's tweets. Some of the stuff he posts is important, but not so important that it should interrupt my workday. BTW - i want to actually build this and haven't seen any similar service (links welcome js65536@gmail.com)
SnapTwitter is a service to <i>dynamically</i> filter and respond to Tweets.<p>You can use a user-friendly interface to define conditions under which a Tweet is Snapped up. These Tweets are organized according to the conditions under which they were Snapped, and when you log in to the site, you can read through all the Tweets that SnapTwitter has Snapped up for you.<p>SnapTwitter is no old rhino; this young Snapper can learn new tricks. When you create a condition, you can customize your Snapper's response. It could send certain Tweets to your friends. It could SnapBack a new Twitter, using <i>dynamically generated</i> text, generated according to rules that you can define -- without writing a single line of code! You simply use the nice user-friendly interface to teach your Snapper how to twist around what is said in a Tweet into a response which can be automatically Twittered back.<p>Advanced users can write code for the conditions and the SnapBacks themselves, in a special language called STML (SnapTwitter Markup Language).<p>Some people might say that SnapTwitter is a cheap ripoff of a few good Internet ideas from the past, and I admit that. But it is nicer to ordinary people, and it's also the future of Twittering.<p>So quit sitting back and start SnappingBack!
