Show HN: Anthropomorphic Visualization of Twitter Style (tweepify.me)
1 point by hoopism on June 11, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments


We're 3 brothers who work on various projects nights and weekends. This idea grew out of a desire to visually compare what startups were doing to engage Twitter users. We assign different stats to body parts in order to build a unique caricature for a given twitter user. We've turned the concept into a tool that makes comparing any twitter users quickly and easily.

The biggest difficulty came in squeezing as much as possible out of the twitter api. We wound up rolling our own distributed request service using multiple accounts. We'll see how it holds up.

Feedback appreciated!

Tech Used: PHP, Processing.js, JQuery, MySQL and Twitter API


Do you want feedback? I'm probably not your intended audience. However:

I looked at it, and had no idea what it was supposed to be doing, analyzing, or conveying. I clicked the "What is it?" link and I still have no idea.

Closed it. Don't care.
