A Million Stories in the Naked Twitter
Posted by Nick_Setchfield on 27 March 2009 - 3:29pm.
The latest, most mesmerising twist on the Twitter phenomenon is here: http://twistori.com/
It corrals a global array of Tweets, theming them according to certain keywords: Love, Hate, Wish, Believe etc. There's a hypnotic fascination to this parade of anonymous thoughts - you find yourself pondering who exactly would cast the words "I love tits" into the Twittersphere, and whether it's a statement of unbridled joy or something that speaks of 3am loneliness.
Have a look, and feel like the 21st Century equivalent of The Man Who Fell To Earth with his all-seeing arsenal of tellies.

I like
It's mostly mindless, but it is hypnotic.
Hypnotic and scary ...
just when you are relaxing into the mindlessness of it along comes something haunting ..."I hope there is no brain damage. They're waking him up in 2-3 days". I want to know the back story, but never will. Little flashing messages to no-one, removed from their original context these are very unsettling.
It this up for the Turner Prize by any chance?
Party idea
I think twistori is mesmerising and would be great for a big TV at a party.
For folks that like this sort of thing a bit more hardcore, there's:
