Turn Your Twitter Feed into Super Mario
Fed up with your Twitter feed just, well, feeding you your Twitter-friends’ updates? Then you can download this $1.99 iPhone app that will turn it into a side scrolling platform game allowing you to read and tweet, retweet, and reply while running about as a white rabbit.
It also turns the tweets into little platforms you can jump on, tilting your phone left and right to move, but, sadly, no sign of enemy spam-bots to stomp on or end of level bad guys in the form of malicious viral worms. But at least the gamification of mircoblogging has begun.
