Gleetch.com is a really small application that lets you tweet your newly learned skills and your unlocked achievements from Glitch.com
Glitch.com is a web-based Flash game that lets you wander in a fantasy world called Ur.
Gleetch will use the Glitch.com API and the Twitter API (with Twitter’s photobucket service) to post your unlocked skills and achievements to Twitter.
More information about Gleetch.com can be found in this blogpost.

Tillybot.com
Tillybot.com is more of a manual for the Twitter account @Tillybot. Tillybot is a utility bot for on Twitter, hence its name. The idea is similiar to a utility knife; one object with multiple functions.
Tillybot can reply to commands you give her. These commands are keywords with a hashtag infront of it. So a possible tweet could be: “@Tillybot #dictionary paradigm”. She will then reply the definition for the word ‘paradigm’ to you.
At the moment she has 11 commands, ranging from #bmi to #weather. If you send her the hashtag #earthquake, she will reply with the latest earthquake. She will also tweet big earthquakes that could be potentially dangerous, on her own.
She will even follow you if you tweet her “#followme“!

I had this idea for a while, but finally figured it was time to really complete it. The idea originated from this thought “I like longer tweet services, but why are their pages so ugly? I have a twitter design, why don’t they use it?”.
And so I started on my first ‘app’. It works quite simple, you log in with your Twitter account (authorizing the application) and you’ll be taken to the tweet page, here you can create your tweet, which can (and should, really) be over 140 characters long and finally you tweet it. If you haven’t loaded your settings yet or it’s your first time posting a tweet, the service will collect your design information from twitter (such as your background, link colors and text colors). Your tweet will now be shown on a simple page that uses your design. See an example page of lt.gs, or read more about this webservice.

I hadn’t made a decent (public) website since 2004 and when another website I was working on in 2007 didn’t really meet the standards I was looking for anymore, I created and launched Habbies.
Habbies is a so-called Habbo fansite, a Dutch site with information about the virtual world Habbo. I’ve designed and developed everything. The site is basically a community with private messages, polls, (multi-player) browser-based games, groups and somewhat of a user profile. Besides that there’s a lot of information, news (system) and little ‘applications’ called ‘Widgets’ that allow you to do out-of-the-box things with the API-less sites that Habbo consists of. Everything is backed up with a giant admin panel, which I made so that the site would run (with staff of course) on it’s own. No real coding or designing is necessary.
