De-noise your Twitter with Twumult

It’s time for the unveilance of our weekend project. Yesterday we started a little contest. ‘Guess what we’re going to build and win a-still-to-be-designed mashup tee’. We got seven guesses, and the eighth one just got in. Later today we will announce the winners!

Meet Twumult

There we go. That’s the name of our mashup we’re going to build this weekend. Twumult will be a way to ‘de-noise your twitter’.

Where the timeline is build for conversations it doesn’t help you much when you want to focus on just a few friends or co-workers. Some applications solve this problem in their own way, Tweetdeck for example. How much I love that application, it came apparent that it didn’t solve the problem completely because it kept the timeline.

Twumult won’t use a timeline. It will be iGoogle meets Twitter. We create a dashboard where you can group your followers and see three (or more) of their latest Tweets. In addition we’ll integrate the Twitter Search API so you can apply filters to your groups and follow people and hashtags on conferences.

That’s it for now. Michiel and I will post a video about the inspiration and development somewhere today. So we can talk more about the concept in person
