I got tweetleaked today.
I made a post on Twitter asking if anyone could recommend a good tool box to buy in Germany, because well…. i need a new tool box… (long story…) and then a few minutes later, I received a strange mention on Twitter saying:
@seanearleyrocks your tweet has been taken away.
Of course I just had to check and see just what the heck that was all about. I come to find out it’s an art project by a guy in Berlin named Jens Wunderling and his site default to public where he takes people’s random tweets, prints them out on sticker paper and posts them in public. HA! Sweet!
Of course I wrote back to say: @tweetleak Neat… next time please use the tweet that says “Please send all your money to @seanearleyrocks to pay for an Aston Martin”
All kidding aside, I thought it was a cool idea. While I of course realize my tweets are public and open for the world to see, somehow it still gives off an invasive feeling by having your info put on display out in public beyond your control. That’s the point of the project after all, I guess.
Really makes you think, though.
P.S. If anyone still wants to send money to the Sean Earley needs an Aston Martin really badly fund, by all means, feel free…
Oh yeah, and can you recommend a good toolbox while you’re at it?
