All Twesent and correct

Just when you think that there’s nothing else to think of in the Twitterverse, no other use for Twitter and no mad scheme to smile at, along comes an email to let you know that pointless Twitter apps still rule for procrastination and time wasting :)

Twesents allows you to send virtual presents to your Twitter friends, and they kindly sent us an email asking us to give them ago.

So I (Nikki) duly tripped over to the site to give it a go!

It’s all fairly easy – choose a Twesent (which range from cute, to rude, to downright odd – I chose a rubber duck to keep it clean ;) ), input your username and password, then it gives you the option to choose a someone to send the Twesent to. There’s a search option (which is pretty slow) for yuo to find a specific friend, and a ‘checkout’ which subtracts the amount of credits the gift ‘costs’ from the amount you have (500 to start, you can earn more by following or tweeting about @twesents, and there’s an ominous Paypal button so I guess you can buy credits too).

Anyway my Twesent was sent, and the recipient given a link to look at it http://twesents.com/-3d31bf

I’m not really sure of the point of Twesents, but it’s cute and has a bit of novelty value, so if anyone finds a business use for it, let me know :)
