Birdhouse — A Notepad for Twitter

It is a simple idea made great by putting a twist and a story to it. The twist is that “Birdhouse was built to give you more control over writing for Twitter.” Cameron and Adam built an app that applauds the idea that Twitter can be better if you aren’t constantly telling people simply what you’re doing. Even first dialog box you see when you open the app says, “Birdhouse requires you to have a Twitter account and something to say”.

Birdhouse is the first iPhone app I’ve seen that launched with a story: the demo video had a plot; the pre-published tweets from @camh and @lonlysandwich; and then that same tweet waiting for you to publish once you set up Birdhouse.

This app not only has its own personality, but it helps its users to have one too.
