noticed it this morning from twitter, chris massina (http://twitter.com/factoryjoe). In effect the site filters directed twitter messages to two (N possible) categories. In this case "stuck" and "unstuck". So you get 2 lists of messages by persons on what they are currently stuck (stuck) on and not stuck on (unstuck).

HOW: Uses twitter to send information to a third party site. Categorises the message you send to twitter to stuckunstuck by using 2 further twitter accounts (stuck & unstuck accounts ~ http://twitter.com/stuck & http://twitter.com/unstuck) and directs messages sent to these accounts to the SUS site.


Yes, but why?
