TwitterFountain.com – Twitter Crossed With Flickr

TwitterFountain.comTwitter’s main asset is its preciseness and simplicity, but there are always people who want more. It is basic nature, and where there is a demand there is someone who is going to meet it.

That explains why a site like Twitter Fountain has come to be.

We can describe it as a resource where Twitter and Flickr are mashed up. That is, tweets are displayed on the site accompanied by images culled from the popular image hosting service based on relevance. This relevance is not always palpable, and you often have to use your imagination quite a bit in order to see the bond.

Ultimately, sites like this one highlight what an open-ended platform Twitter is. There is no such a thing as an app or a site that is too far-fetched to be eventually realized. The concept at the heart of Twitter Fountain is not something absurd or anything like that, but the site feels like a mere novelty. It has little return value, and it is difficult to even think of features that could be added in order to make it that little more enticing.
