Anagram on twitter

After a long struggle to write something interesting, i have finally released an uncut version of my twitter anagram bot. This bot can be found here at http://twitter.com/anagram101 . This took some homework initially, now i intend to make this bot healthier coz it seems to freak out with some encoding issue in the wordlist :D.

This is looking fun to use, so i really think you all guys out there will njoi it as well. Keep twittering and kwippying away to glory.

the much more work syndrome

I used to think that i am pretty smart when it comes to managing time, turns out it aint the case most times. At any given point of time , my management(or lack of it) ;) invariably leads to wierd complexities (which obviously cannot be disclosed). So here goes list of things i want done asap

  • Upgrade the wordpress, apparently the new admin GUI is uber-coool.
  • Change my current theme, because it sucks and i want to rebuild it using bluecss
  • Finish work on the projects i have started, coz they are blocking available bandwidth
  • Make http://kwippy.com bigger than anything in the micro-blogging space
  • Sleep a bit leeser (which never seems to happen)

On this lazy note, i choose to continue life and hopefully make something out of it. Please cut out the underlying philosophy in the post, it aint that deep after all.

kwippy !!

 What is kwippy? - a micro/nanoblogging webapp + IM status logger + social network
Why another microblogging app when there are already plenty out there? - There is twitter, pownce, jaiku, and 10 other similar ones. Though all of these promote small posts, each has a different kind of social network.

On twitter you mostly meet strangers. By strangers I mean people you don’t know in the real world. It’s like barcamp, or a conference where you go partly to network. You meet fellow bloggers, marketeers, and people from your field. Yes friendships may grow among them, but mostly there are subtle motives behind the tweets. From promoting your blog, selling your product, showing your expertise, etc.

Pownce is geared more towards file sharing, sharing media (youtube, mp3s) etc. And it has an AIR instant messenger kind of software which makes it a little closer to an Instant Messeger.

In kwippy, the whole focus is on the Instant Messenger. The friends list on the instant messenger is the most intimate friends list you can find, of all social networks. It gives the people in the list immediate access to your attention. People share their joys (i got a raise), sorrows (i flunked my english papers), their favorite links, and thousand other things through their status messages. And all these people also have a list of their closest friends on their list. And like in the real world when a real friend introduces you to another person, the chances that you hit it off are greater. There’s this trust thing which is automatic.

So there - kwippy has a social network which gets real friends, friends you could meet. And it stores all your status messages, which become your emotional timeline.

We have been working on it since some time, and now it is in testing. If you would like to check it out, and give your invaluable suggestions for improvement, either go to kwippy.com, or comment here.
