Declare your crushes!


In November, my husband informed me that he would have one week of vacation around Christmas. I know that he's not one to lay around for days and do nothing, so out of the goodness of my heart, and my true and strong love for him, I created a project for him to work on. (What a wonderful wife I am!!!)

A few weeks before, when I was putting laundry in to the washing machine, I started thinking about how a friend of mine had told me that he had HAD a crush on me, but that he had a crush on someone else now.

I started wondering what it would look like to see a list of all the people that said they had a crush on me. I turned around and started writing ideas down on the enormous (15'x5') white board we have in the laundry room and thus, Twitcrush was born!

Twitcrush is a twitter web application, so you need a twitter account in order to use it, but then you can declare your 3 crushes and check out your cluster (those who have declared a crush on you).

You can CHANGE YOUR CRUSHES AT ANYTIME, or you can choose your 3 crushes once and then leave them be. It's up to you.

Have fun and let me know how it goes!

My immediate reaction is terror. Make of that what you will.

You are a braver woman than I. And a whole lot technologically smarter.

Oh dear. Can you change the crushes?

Interesting. I presume that asking for the Twitter credentials will go away once Twitter supports OAuth?

melissalion said...

And what happens if they're unrequited?

stephanie: This from the woman that stalks actual cashiers!

melissa: Yes.

aaron: We would love that!

melissa: I'm afraid I can't help you with that one. But keep me posted!

Nice. Who doesn't wanna know who has a crush on them especially with Valentine's Day on the way. =)

Ummmm....what does <3 mean? Is that in the texticon or is it your logo brand? I've been doing a lot of algebra with Ella and all I see is less than 3.

You should get hubby to put some human faces on the twitcrush access page, humanize and colorize it a little bit.

Great idea, though. I don't use twitter, however. But I've heard everyone in the big shiny cities does.

Love you.
