Love the idea and the design. What do you think about the ability to click on a candidate to view all of their tweets? Just a thought. Nice job! Love the idea and the design.

We are going to concentrate on a few and do them really well. We have talked about open-sourcing the gem (runs on rails) so others can take part in the fun. @Justin - Thanks, we are excited to. @John - yeah this one was a lot easier than the first. I believe the first one took about a week to solidify and launch (Dec 13th was the first day of twittertale.com) and this one took about three days with most of the work going into the visual/ui side. Thanks everyone for the kind words!

It's got to be much easier now to create these websites, since you all have the logic and code done on how to parse and search for terms. Great job you guys have done.

You guys have put out some awesome stuff so far. Twitter must love you guys too because it raises the visibility of their product. I'm excited to see what the Character140 posse will put out in the future. Dude! You guys have put out some awesome stuff so far.
