PinkTweet?

Why didn't they just use the obvious name "Twatter"?


Slightly less offensive maybe? Twat offends the constitution of the weak.

Yeah, they do look a little bit like shotgun wounds, don't they?


I'm not particularly familiar with twitter, but I'd have thought this kind of thing (interests, not porn) would be an obvious application.

I mean, I (introverted) am definitely not interested in what my friends had for lunch, but I'd really like to know what book they just finished, or movie, or song. I don't think it would be that hard to separate them by media, and there would be a lot of interesting data to get from this.


Only for fetishists that get off by reading 140 character reports on other people's porny thoughts?


@Confusion I put on my wizard robe and hat


I always wonder why nobody gets my shirt that spells BritneySpears14 on the back.

Isn't there a #hashtag for the normal twitter for shorturl porn tweets? Now I need to get a tweetdeckreader for this site too.


Sorry, I must have a sense of humor failure. I don't get it.



Thanks, you two. You made my day. Baby?


Whoever downvoted me has definitely not taken the time to figure it out.


looks like the posting acccount was created just before the post. wonder who would have incentive to do that?


Some of the links in PinkTweet, actually promise porn but deliver malware


Thank you for discovering that for us.


http://hotwitter.com it's been up since september


the last posts are like a month old...


Yes, heh, I'm well aware. I'm a team member of the main platform it was built on, Yonkly. We're growing and trying to capture the main need to niche-microblog. It's definitely been a typical startups journey (noodles, credit extended, constantly trying new strategies). Hopefully we'll get that activity back up soon, and create a truly valuable and addicting experience. :)


now I finally understand all the fuss about twitter! ;)
