I've not been doing any machinima/animations for the last couple of weeks. The reason is I have two big hobbies, Machinima and web programming. I do web programming as my day job too, but every so often I get an idea for something to do in my own time. I've been making a twitter web application on and off for several months now, changed it's name several times, and finally settled on "TwizzleScape".
The last two weeks or so, I've been re-designing a lot of it and it's now at a point where it's suitable for other tweeple to play on it. So, I should tell you what it is I guess. TwizzleScape's main thing is, it does twitter, but not like the boring, static twitter.com site... its ANIMATED! Think twitter.com re-mixed.
No need to update the page, as tweets arrive for you, they literally bounce onto the page. The layout is similar to TweetDeck in that it's arranged in columns or panels. Each panel does a specific thing like show your tweet replies etc. So, its twitter.com with bells and whistles, but wait there's more (infomercial voice), It does other things too, like showing you up-coming events in Second Life™ and even provides you with a 'Teleport' button to transport you in-world !
Anyway, stop reading this, and try it out for yourselves, there's no messy sign-up, just click a button to authenticate with twitter and you're on... no download either! If you don't like it, just go back to using twitter.com and you can de-authorise TwizzleScape in your twitter settings too - I won't be offended if you don't like it, I made it for me, because I don't like any of the twitter client programs out there, but I want to share it with anyone who wants to use it.
Right, I need to get back to making machinima now. Have fun!
oh, as its still beta, you can't use it if you are following more than 700 tweeple.
