Tweet it up!

7/05/2009

A law that mandates twittering for public officials.

Let us push to have mandatory twittering for public officials!

30/03/2009
  • Create a website, Obfuscationation, where the main page is a world map (various projections?) and you can click on a nation and hide it from the world map.
  • The user could repeat this until the entire world was hidden, except for a particular nation state.
  • Printing this map would also be another feature.
