I've been working on a personal project: http://www.tiptoptweet.com which has taken up a whole lot of my time. Because of that I've been neglecting this site somewhat. Well, the site is now finished and I could do with some feedback, but equally I should be able to pick up the blogging slack a bit too.
What Is TipTopTweet?
Its a twitter application that lets you vote for other @users or URL's by simply adding a #hashtag to a message.
By adding either #voteup or #votedown to a message which contains a user or a link, tiptoptweet will pick up your vote and record it. The website then shows top ranked links and users over a week / a day / a month in any vote category.
You could say that its basically a Digg or Reddit for twitter.
Why?
I was getting a little fed up of all the sites which track a user's popularity on twitter by simply measuring how many other people are following them. I want to know who people actually think are interesting, letting users vote is an obvious way to do that.
Technically speaking I also wanted to get some good experience with ASP.NET MVC, which the whole site is built in. I've learned an aweful lot about MVC actually, so I'm glad I did it.
What's Next?
I need feedback! I don't really care whether or not it becomes super-popular, but I do want to know if its useful, if it works properly, and how I could improve it.
If you're reading this and it sounds even vaguely interesting, then please check it out and let me know what you think!
