Boondoggle, a Belgian interactive agency, has cooked up a deliciously useless product called TweetNotebook that basically lets you create a physical notebook that features a random set of your Twitter messages. No joke.
Here's how it works: you go to the website, enter any username (make sure the owner's tweet aren't protected) and let the app browse through the account owner's 320 latest tweets and automatically select some to populate the bottom sections of your notebook pages.
Boondoggle, a Belgian interactive agency, has cooked up a deliciously useless product called TweetNotebook that basically lets you create a physical notebook that features a random set of your Twitter messages.
No joke.
Here’s how it works: you go to the website, enter any username (make sure the owner’s tweet aren’t protected) and let the app browse through the account owner’s 320 latest tweets and automatically select some to populate the bottom sections of your notebook pages.
While you wait for the tweets to get selected, you can enter a custom message on the cover of your notebook (max. 140 characters, of course). Once the app is done selecting, you’ll get to preview your custom 320-page notebook, tweets included, before you order. You have three color choices: white and turquoise, black and turquoise or plain white.
The cost of the überpersonalized notebook is €12 (or $12), not including the shipping costs, which obviously differ from location to location.
I wish there was an option to select your tweets manually, or have them fetched from the Favstar.fm site, although that would create unwelcome copyright issues.
All in all, @TweetNotebook is a fun concept, which reminds me of Nick Douglas’ book Twitter Wit (which I enjoyed reading).
Now let’s see if they can get some traction on Twitter.
