Current Projects
I launched my first Twitter application on January 14th, 2008. Tweetwhatyoueat was an experiment using an emerging social media platform (Twitter) not as it was intended, but for data entry instead.
At the time, there were no simple-to-use, natural language food diary solutions that could be updated from a PC or mobile phone, and I was on a mission to loose weight for my wedding. I had a clear idea of the tool that would work for me, so I built it.
Twitter was the perfect platform for the job - short form messages, open access, portability and two way communication made it the right choice for data entry on TWYE. Unlike Facebook, using Twitter would allow me to build my own brand - a web application that I owned and marketed, not a Facebook application that would live inside of someone else's framework.
My experiment with Tweetwhatyoueat using Twitter for data entry was a success, with more then 8,000 users now using TWYE regularly. I have been using Twitter ever since to create, rich, social media web experiences. Below is a sample of my portfolio:
