An interesting idea of sharing ideas. That’s what comes first to mind when you visit Mainual. We can find many blogs telling us about design ideas and even examples of these ideas. With Mainual it is different. Here people share the ideas they didn’t accomplished yet.
Real Birds Tweet On Twitter
What does the word “tweet” means? There are many meanings except the one that a tweet is a post on Twitter. The other one is that tweet is a type of a bird vocalization. So do birds acutally tweet on twitter?
Voldemars Dudums tried to found out that creating the first live Twitter stream made by real birds. The project took place in a small village Sarnate near the coast in the west of Latvia . He said that it could seem “that it is quite silly, but if you look to what other people are sometimes writing on Twitter, then I think tomtit’s messages are still ok”.
And it’s true that sometimes the content on Twitter is not content at all. Hungry Birds project now made 2 215 tweets, has 4 935 followers and listed in 128 lists. A success. The project will continue this year on november.

This is the result.
