Wouldn’t it be great if you could use Twitter to keep up to date with how your baby is developing during pregnancy?
Well I thought so anyway, so here’s a cute little application I’ve built that does just that.
It’s called Tweetlet.
It’s easily set up - just put in your due date (when the baby is going to arrive), whether you are the mom, dad, relative or parents’ friend (who knows right?!), your timezone and the site will create a Tweetlet for you that will send you direct messages every day or so with a tiny reminder update on how your child-to-be is progressing.
Think “Hi dad! I just opened my eyes for the first time” or “Hi mum! I’ve just grown fingernails” - pretty cool details that make you think during your busy life.
And if anything happens that makes you want to stop the service, you just unfollow @ tweetlet. Simple as that.
Okay - thoughts? Am I crazy? Plain wrong? Amusing? Educational?
