Twistori: how are people on twitter feeling?

Last Thursday I reviewed an app called WeFeelFine which, in my eyes, is the new bench mark for creative data display. It is very apparent that there is so much out there, and now with the rise of certain technologies like RSS feeds, proper visualization allows one to harness individual streams of thought. When done properly, the effects can be mesmerizing, overwhelming, and touching.

Twistori is an homage to WeFeelFine that pulls phrases from twitter feeds that contain the words love, hate, think, believe, feel, and wish. When a word is selected, sentences from countless unnamed twitter feeds flow in in large text. Essentially, this is all the application does.

This app is less about inter-relational data display, and more a pretty way to browse and see what people are saying surrounding whatever user-defined emotion. Check out the walkthrough, set to the sounds of Dosh "O Mexico":

Does the app fulfill its intended purpose?	10
How clean and simplistic is the UI?	10
Is the app forward thinking and innovative?	8
How re-usable is the app?	5
Overall	8.25

I am using WeFeelFine as a basis of comparison for pushing the limit of innovative data display, and because of this, I gave this app low re-usability/innovation scores. I think it's a gorgeous layout, and has similar emotional effects as WeFeelFine, but lacks the stunning visualizations. However, Twistori isn't about data comparison, it's simply just about streaming content centered around certain emotions, and for what it is, it accomplishes the task simply and beautifully.
