Hackathon produces most useful Twitter app yet – a game of 'trumps'
Each card contains a bunch of Twitter stats for a user – total number of tweets, grammar quality, followers, frequency of hastags etc. – and you’re asked to pick one of the stats to see if it ‘trumps’ the opposing card (follower) that’s about to be unveiled. It involves a fair amount of luck but also depends on how well you know your Twitter buddies — I fared terribly.
“Rather than build something ‘serious’ or ‘worthwhile’ like a social graph analyser or text-to-speech app… we built a game’, say Tom and Dom.
That’s modesty for you.
(The site seems a bit flakey right now, but that could easily be Twitter’s fault.)
