I get the concept but my problems with the app are
1) what's the point?
As in, really... What's the point? Success for Twitter users is to get people to recognize their brand/personality and not so much piecemeal tweets. Just reading individual tweets of random strangers is boring. And if I wanted to read topical messages I would just use summize.
2) why is this engaging?
As Twitter increase towards more to conversational styles amongst its users, an out of context message is jarring. To the point where I have not much interest in perusing your site. In fact, if the person is interesting at all I would much rather just follow them. But a Twitter user recommendation engine this is not.
3) how do I know this is working?
The instructions to find the missing word makes it awkward. How do I know the missing word is because of the app in play or because the original Twitter user wasn't dyslexic? It's also too much of a chore to parse and reparse a 140 character sentence to see if it's broken. Brains don't work that way--we automatically self-correct sentence subconsciously.
- amichail 18y agoIf someone encounters a tweet you wrote that he/she likes, he/she might check out your twitter page and possibly follow you. And even if you don't get many new followers, it is still a way to get people to read your tweets. Unlike a recommendation engine, this one allows you to get lots of people to read your tweets if you are willing to put in the effort reading other people's tweets.
