Assignment 3: brief

I am an excessive, sometimes emotional tweeter… when all these lines of the “Array” are shown on the social media feed, they are (somewhat) accepted.

‘oh she tweets too much”–she tweets like every 5 seconds’

This method of coding accepts zero means of formatting or twitpics and just displays the constant updates of ones Twitter that could be either a quote I heard, lyrics to a song, a lethargic thought, a drunk thought, or even just a word I decided deserved a hashtag.

words turn into madness when they aren’t so organized on a media outlet. It kind of reminds me of a poorly coded Myspace.”

What makes a Tweet a Tweet, and not just a written thought? This is a concept I would like to differentiate by considering the ideas relating to communication and language via social media feed vs. deployed text or spoken word. Inspired by an experiment I made called “Word Vomit”, I will generate text composed of my tweets, retweets, and other Messages/texts i’ve received to compile a socially breached Array of words into a new approach to interactive webdesign. With roots branching from Word Vomit, My site may contain similar coding, but with more buttons, allowing users to dispose text, add their own “tweets”, and more Javascript functions and maybe even more visual elements.
