Actu­ally got some real work done on the #hand­writ­ten­tweets site that I’ve been con­tem­plat­ing since last sum­mer. Here’s a sneak pre­view (at least of the back­ground). Click the thumb­nail on the left to get the full size

 

I do not know exactly when it clicked in my mind or what sparked it all, but as I was sit­ting at my day job, the idea of writ­ing out tweets by hand came to me. I sat there rolling it around in my head and it came to me that peo­ple would be able to write beyond twitter’s 140 char­ac­ter limit with vari­able read­abil­ity depend­ing on clear leg­i­ble writ­ing. With the wide pro­lif­er­a­tion of cell phones con­tain­ing built in cam­eras, as well as many photo ser­vices being tied to twit­ter already, there is an extremely low entry require­ment for hand­writ­ten tweets.
