Coolest twitter interface yet.

Nah, hook it up to an old teletype and THAT would be the coolest twitter interface yet.

kinda disappointed. I was hoping for an x-y plotter-like device that actually typed using the keys…

oh well. guess I’ll have to do it myself

More twitter hacks…..

I must say this is an interesting use of technology, however it may be better suited for something more interesting, such as RSS feeds. Possibly coming from hackaday. ;)

we have an old typewriter in storage that’s got a serial port on it, i’ve been meaning to see if it is as simple as something like a terminal, that would pretty much rock!

I wish twitter would just roll over, cough twice, then die choking on it’s own blood. What a waste of bandwidth.

I just found an old electronic typewriter in my attic, interesting coincidence, although twitter seems like a silly thing to waste such a cool machine on.

I have a challenge: Make a typewriter interface that takes a picture, converts it to ascii, and types it out. That would be a real work of art and a good use for such a beautiful machine.

Creepily enough, I have that exact same model typewriter sitting under my desk. It was given to me by my great aunt a while ago and I’ve been trying to think of ways to repurpose it without scrapping it. This gives me a lot of ideas, but not twitter based ideas, noooo.

Hmmm…

I have a teletype connected to the internet – works pretty well, but no photos…
