Initially, we wanted to develop an application off of the Twitter API, such as a quiz game or a new visualizer. We realized that random tweets scraped off of celebrity twitters would be very difficult to deal with, both for us and the quiz takers. This is because some tweets are not significant at all, and do not contain any information specific to the person. We ended up using jQuery and Javascript to create a page with some animations as well as arrays to randomly select a celebrity then select a Twitter quote made by that celebrity. We selected our celebrities by finding a list of most-followed celebrities, so that the quiz taker has a higher chance of getting the question correct. In terms of features, we are most proud of the randomization involved, as well as the array of quotes we manually entered. Our target user is the casual internet surfer, since this is primarily a fun application.
