A straw poll, generally speaking, is a vote with non mandatory results. In this case, it’s the name of an online app that lets you create tiny daily polls in 140 characters or less, using your own Twitter account. The nice thing about this app it’s that you can vote but also add your motivation: [...]
Your Flowing Data is a great online app that lets you record personal data using Twitter’s direct messagge. The project scope is simple: if you start collecting and registering tiny facts of your life every day, later you will be able to analyze the choices and behaviours your data will reveal. There are different kinds [...]
An original and funny tweets box with alternating avatar icons. It really put a smile on our face.
Oh we wish Twitter crashed repeatedly so we could see more often its beautiful and creative technical error page. But it works so damn well! PS This post make me sounds like a web designer trained by one of the dreadful Addams! Anyway if you’re looking for more error pages, you can also give a [...]
Since I’m blogging, my Twitter’s contacts are growing in a freakish way. In a while, using Peepnote, an online application developed to keep your peeps (which is this app’s lingo for Twitter’s following) organized, will be more necessary than useful. I love the interface’s vibrant colors and the warm appeal of the whole design, but what [...]
CoTweet is a platform designed for companies that, through Twitter, want to manage existing customers and possibly attract new ones. The button to request product’s beta is huge, but welll integrated in the whole visual treatment.
So you want to create a logo in pure Twitter style? Twitlogo is the online application for you: a simple form with some adjustable parameters (hidden in the advanced options) to create lettering and logos à la Twitter.
Even in an error page there may be a bit of poetry: just like in Twitter service error page.
Meme’s home page, a Portuguese microblogging platform launched by Yahoo. It’s quite obvious the replacement of Twitter bird with a small dog.
I think that Dailyrt listing, a Twitter-based application, is an intersting example. In particular, I like: the block made by the rating and the tweet-this button; mouse over effect on the list; the numbering on the right.
Wefollow, the directory of the most followed Twitter, is arranged in square blocks of 5 elements, each linked to a particular topic. The result is certainly more readable of the endless list that typically are used in directories websites
The home of Foodfeed is disarmingly simple: above a search form, to right a column with the last feeds and to the left the instructions to the service in 3 little steps.
An interesting listing of photos create a public time line on TwitPic website, a service that lets you share your photos on Twitter.
It’s an interesting idea linking the background illustration to the logo as in Readwhale home page: a social network dedicated to books (as the most famous Anobii and Shelfari), that reports automatically on Twitter updates in your library. To explore!
The footer on Douglas Bowman’s blog, currently Creative Director in Twitter and, among other things, the former leader of Google Visual Design. Apart from being graphically impeccable, this is an excellent example of the increasing trend in using the bottom of the page to express something personal…in short, footers are no longer a simple layout [...]
The aesthetic result is certainly not the strong point of these icons that are very understandable and clear even if they’re only 10px wide.
