Does not work at all

Nopeity nope nope nope - not right now anyway,

Here's why

"Quite why one would want to do this remains a mystery"

Come on, you know why.

Who amongst us has not spent days, weeks or even months in coding something that has no commercial application, interests nobody but themselves and could have been done in ten minutes with a spreadsheet?

I know I have.

Yup broken

Doesn't do anything at all.

Note to developer: If you're going to develop something like this at least test it before telling the world.

Web 2.0 navel-gazing

I'm completely unable to read that name as anything other than Geo-Me-Me (me me me me me)....

Error

mmm Error Line 31: I get the idea but it aint happening.

Works for me

Now all I need is an orbiting laser cannon.....so I can play Twitter-Splatter!

Got you.

And you.

And you...come get some...

Tweet, Whoosh, BOOM!

> Quite why one would want to do this remains a mystery

I think it starts to make sense when used with this tech:

Out of the blue

Is there a Predator / Reaper option for when you've located the twot?

Target acquisition

> Quite why one would want to do this remains a mystery

Seems obvious to me. A bit of terminal guidance using face recognition, no prob.

Geome Targets

A way to remove Twits?

Here's why...

"Quite why one would want to do this remains a mystery, unless you're planning on linking it to the Ground Guidance sat-nav product for route planning specifically designed to avoid the twitter of tiny thumbs."

I'm planning to link it in to my guided missile system and take out each twat in turn.

The why of it?

Presumably to allow the targeting of web 2.0 powered Twitterhawk missiles.

Anyway, I thought Twitter was utterly pointless drivel until I discovered The Longest Poem In The World ( http://www.longestpoemintheworld.com/ ) now I think it is pointless but often hilarious *rhyming* drivel...

Clearly

All those tags on peoples names that say "follow me on twitter" needed an app that allows you to do the opposite.

An app that detects tweets <as they happen>, alerts you and plans a route around the location of that signal would improve daily life.

Even better would be a reverse lookup and stay active tool that tracks the signal location and actively blocks it. Permanently.

Let's face it, if you can say it in 140 characters it wasn't that important was it?

So you'll stand there asking for more information if someone shouts "he's got a gun, run!" will you?

"Follow me on twitter..."?

Or is that "Stalk me on twitter?"

Title failure

Should be "Twitter twacker twies twotspotting".

Marital War?

"It was initially called TwotSpot, but it was rapidly renamed Geome to preserve marital peace"

So, if things had gone badly, would it be renamed 'TwatSpat'

@The Dorset Rambler

Im with you on that score

Waaaaay to often :D

@Deflowered

Well firstly I'd want to know where, I wouldn't want to run towards him by accident now would I?

Running is stupid unless you can outrun a bullet. "Duck" might be a better shout.

Loud noises and sudden movements are stupid when someone has a gun.

It's a bit more likely you'd be twittering about the giant poo you'd just had after a particularly tasty Big Mac that you'd probably made yourself. Sorry but I like my information in conversation sized pieces about relevant subjects. Twitter is just massive fail for me but each to their own.

As a user of twitter I have never seen a tweet like this. Sure hate twitter - it is not for everyone but if you wish to explain why you hate it rather than make shit up post the real reason.

You hate twitter as it is overhyped. See not so hard.
