Tell us about your Tweeter or Retweeter tool.

It tells you whether you’re a tweeter or retweeter based on a certain number of posts scraped from your user profile. It also creates a graphic with that information you can download and share.

Why did you create it?

I kept seeing people talk about being “Twitter originals” and being super creative and clever with their tweets. I wanted a way to actually quantify that, something that people could show as proof. Also I think when you’re on Twitter, at times a lot of the things you do are unconscious – you see a funny tweet and you retweet it. I wondered if people actually knew what their user profile looked like so I wanted to create something that revealed that.
