Twitter-Tweeted Never-Ending Stories and Poets

At www.STORYTELLER.me, you can create never-ending poems and stories with your friends - one line at a time at - so that you never know how they will turn out! Twitter will tweet you when it is your turn to add the next line.



Here's an example:

The Power of One

One SONG can spark a moment
One FLOWER can wake the dream
One TREE can start a forest
One BIRD can herald spring
One SMILE begins a friendship
One HANDCLASP lifts a soul
One STAR can guide a ship at sea
One WORD can frame the goal
One VOTE can change a nation
One SUNBEAM lights a room
One CANDLE wipes out darkness
One LAUGH will conquer gloom
One STEP must start each journey
One WORD must start a prayer
One HOPE will raise our spirits
One TOUCH can show you care
One VOICE can speak with wisdom
One HEART can know what is true
One LIFE can make a difference
One KISS can seal a friendship
One DRINK can ruin a life
One DREAM can render hope
One BREATH can take in life
One HAND can welcome a friend
One STROKE can start an artwork

Tweet Quiz

Tweet Quiz is a first of its kind game at Twitter. It was created to engage fellow twitterers with never-ending challenges provided through periodic tweets. Each quiz pertains to a specific category or topic, for example "What you might find on a bus". As the game progresses, it tweets its followers with a succession of clues to the hidden words and phrases. By matching the items, players gain points. Players tweet their answers back and if correct get a bonus clue back through Direct Message (DM).


Each game last 12 hours and a new quiz starts automatically, hence Tweet Quiz is never-ending.



The quiz can also be played on-line at www.outwit.me, where players go to view all of their completed answers. Prior quizzes are available for viewing so that people can see what they've missed.

OutWit.Me

OutWit.Me is a nexus between Twitter and games. The site is dedicated to engaging the Twitter community with stimulating games. More information coming soon as to the nature of the games to be available.

My first project was to create a 3D Tweet Cloud. This shows the most common words people are using in their tweets. It is a real-time display using a variant of the WP-Cumulus flash cloud by Roy Tanck. You can also create a cloud from your own tweets. The cloud rotates and changes by the minute. Use the public timeline to experiment with the composition of tweets to reveal interesting trends, connections, attitudes, relationships. For example searching on "TV" typically lets you know what shows people are watching at any given time. Searching for "lunch" will let you know what most people are planning to eat.

I've extended this to allow you to create a button or badge to use on your website.

The next project is a never-ending game that uses tweets for player participation.
