TwitCaps Gives Photographic Insight to Twitter’s Zeitgeist
TwitCaps is extraordinary. The newly launched website displays the most recent photos posted to Twitter via the various photo-sharing sites tied in to the microblogging platform.
The TwitCaps frontdoor is captivating. Every tweeted photo, from the mundane to the extraordinary, is lined up in reverse-chronological order. You can hover over each picture and see the original tweet, but that kind of kills the fun. It’s more interesting to look at the photos completely out of context and just soak up the various juxtapositions.
The site tells me two very important things about Twitter. First, users are spread out over the world more completely than I previously thought. And, second, by flipping over to the most popular page, I now realize that Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift are completely owning Twitter.
Bonus: Hackable URLs.
