Announcing Simpletweet

Simpletweet.com

A while back I realized that I wanted a cleaner, simpler way to view my Twitter posts. So, partly inspired by Justin Ouellette’s very nice I Hardly Know Her Flickr viewer, I made a little app that grabbed my Twitter stream and spit it out in a nice, clean way. I figured some other people might find this useful as well.

Some examples of why this is handy:

1. A Twitter-based time log. I personally have a private Twitter account that I set-up for my self, where I merely record what I’m doing throughout the day at work. Then I just load it up in Simpletweet, and I can quickly go back and view all of those log entries as a list and print them out.
2. A great way to print your Tweets. Some people want/need to print their Twitter stream for various reasons. Simpletweet has a great print stylesheet.
3. It’s just nice-looking. Sometimes it’s nice to just be able to view your tweets without all the clutter.

At some point, I may add more functionality to it, but for now it is what it is. A simple way to view Twitter tweets.

To use it, just put your Twitter username after the slash… like http://simpletweet.com/YourUserName. To view just a certain number of tweets, just add a number after your username… like http://simpletweet.com/YourUserName/12. You can also change the number by entering it in the box near your name at the top-right.

Enjoy!
