Textism.com/favrd - List of Favorited Tweets

FAVRD is a site that lists most favorited tweets on twitter and displays them in a real-time scrolling format. The idea is to provide a space where amusing, inspiring and entertaining tweets can be tagged and then read by all. A quick search through the current list of most-favorited on FAVRD shows that the Twitter collective is doing a great job of supplying this site with witty and sometimes thought provoking quotes. You can add yourself to the list of watched favoriters directly from the “about” section of the page by simply entering your twitter ID and Password although they state that it is possible that you are already included in their search.

“FAVRD runs on a no-webcock algorithm. If you see Twitter as a venue for public relations or marketing, or as an audience eager to hear news of a post on your ‘blog’, or a rich hot sticky vertical, or if you consider yourself a web strategist, or if you talk earnestly about social media, or if you can read Techcrunch or listen to the Gillmor gang with a straight face, it’s very unlikely the things you say on Twitter will show up here. If however you think of Twitter as a place to amuse, inspire and entertain, then good on you. Keep it up. We all thank you for it.”

This site probably won’t make the owner a millionaire but it does contain some funny and interesting quotes and does a good job of providing an interesting cross-section of what’s being discussed on Twitter. This could become a popular place for people looking for a quick funny anecdote or something to inspire them.

If this site becomes more popular, how will they deal with the increased number of favorited items? The addition of a search tool or categories based on tagged keywords would make this more user friendly.
