Show HN: Beak – Measures how "smart" your tweets are (Featured on Product Hunt)
- hijohnnylin 12y agoHi HN, I built this on July 4th, while pondering what effect Twitter has on modern day communication. It analyzes the grade level of a Twitter account by using a modified version of the SMOG readability index and tells you your "smartest" and "un-smartest" tweets. Beak also tells you how you rank vs other Tweeters. There's also a leaderboard. This was a fun day project for me and I'd really appreciate any feedback, comments, and suggestions. Thanks, jl
- tzs 12y agoInteresting. My "smartest" and "un-smartest" tweets together give an oddly accurate picture of me. Smartest (grade level 17.1): Am I a bad man for buying Pepperidge Farms Holiday Entertaining Cookies (repeatedly!) even though I shall do no holiday entertaining? Un-smartest (grade level 3.1): THERE IS A MOTHER FUCKING LIZARD IN MY MOTHER FUCKING HOUSE!
- marcosscriven 12y agoDidn't seem to work so well for me. "Good news - float textures have arrived in iOS 8 beta 3 WebGL" doesn't seem all that 'um-smart' https://twitter.com/marcosscriven/status/486449369005056000 https://twitter.com/marcosscriven/status/486449369005056000
- hijohnnylin 12y agoInteresting - TIME.com cloned this idea today without referring to Beak . I suppose it could have been a coincidence though? http://time.com/2958650/twitter-reading-level/ http://time.com/2958650/twitter-reading-level/
