Gleetch.com

The guiding rock of GlitchGleetch.com is a really small application that lets you tweet your newly learned skills and your unlocked achievements from Glitch.com

Now you might be wondering what Glitch.com is, but that’s a totally different blogpost. But for now you can just read their information. If even that is too much; Glitch.com is a web-based Flash game that lets you wander in a fantasy world called Ur.

On Gleetch.com you can sign in with your Glitch account, they have an offical Glitch API. If it’s your first time you are asked to allow our Twitter app to get access to your Twitter account, if all is well, you will get to see your settings page. Here you can set your messages and enable or disable pictures.

All skills and achievements come with pictures, so we will send them along as well, using Twitters ‘own’ photoservice.

The application will then keep checking your stats and post it to Twitter, if you unlocked something good! This is how your Tweet will look like..

The default text contains the hashtag #Glitch. So to see Gleetch in action, look at the Tweets with the #Glitch hashtag.

Gleetch.com is operational, but I wouldn’t want to call it finished. As you can see designing layouts still isn’t my best skill and we might expand the service with tweets related to your in-game wealth or location.
But the people like it and more people use this than my other service Longer Tweets: Get some! So that’s a nice incentive for me!

P.s. Glitch.com is momentarily in beta, I still got 3 keys, so if you’re interested, let me know!

New York, day 5

F-16 on USS Intrepid

This post is the fifth part of a series named “New York”, in which I talk about my trip to New York city in the first week of May 2011. These posts will be loaded with pictures, I took 1050 that week!

This post will be slightly different, as I’ll just show pictures and write hardly anything.
