Earlier this Summer, and largely inspired by this post from Fred Wilson, we started work on a twitter app to pull links from twitter feeds. We also wanted to show other users who had tweeted the same link. The idea was to provide an interface to the (possible) social links that exist around urls shared on twitter. Ultimately, we built Twinqs for users to get all of the links from their feed as well as suggested content and new people to follow (if they choose).
Users can login with their twitter account and start perusing links from all over the place. By clicking the Twinqs button, users can see who else has tweeted the same link. They can then see that person’s other posted links and start following them if they like what they see.
We thought it was too fun of an idea to pass up. And after devoting several weeks to designing Looxii, we thought we’d push the aesthetic in a very different direction. New content, new people, an octopus… what’s not to like? Go give it a try and let us know what you think. You can also follow Twinqs on twitter to stay up on the latest features.
