But would prefer to speak via direct email rather than in a forum. Basically, I would like to create an application that adds RPG elements (leveling up, accomplishments, avatar-personalization) to the twitter experience.
An example, hopefully enough to form the idea in the readers head. User opens the app, fills out twitter info, and then sees an egg. With his/her first tweet a baby bird (sticking with twitter's theme) breaks free of the egg. After acquiring your first follower you are allowed to leave the nest. Later in game, if user is retweeted by justin bieber at some point while he/she is playing the game, his/her bird avatar can now be customized with justin bieber hair. If he/she gets x number of followers, her baby bird evolves into a more mature and cooler looking (customizable?) bird. Lots of possibilities. Hate justin bieber? I am not a fan either, but this app would target the largest audience possible. Please email at cwil...@umich.edu if you think you can help. Or if you can point me to someone who might be able to help i would also greatly appreciate it.
