Twibberish.com - Gibberish Comes To Twitter

I am uncertain how useful something like this is, but as a language professional I am naturally interested by a site like Twibberish. You see, it lets gibberish come into the Twitterverse by way of what are known as “twibbers”.

These are generated on the site by way of the provided tool - you submit a tweet, and it is translated several times until a new (and unrecognizable) message is created. These twibbers can be sent out to your followers just for the fun of it.



From the point of view of linguistics, this is interesting bar none. If anything, it showcases how Twitter has become so widespread that every linguistic manifestation is finding its way there. Again, the usefulness of this site can be vetoed, and on good grounds at that. But if you look at it from the point of view of language, its evolution and how that is paralleled in the digital world then it is a fascinating site. If such considerations matter to you, giving the site a brief glance in order to see how everything has been arranged and put into practice will be enlightening.
