Peepnote

About PeepNote

PeepNote was created to help Twitter users keep track of the many new friends and associates you meet online. You can keep track of their favorite restaurants, books, movies, and hobbies, or record where they work and what they do.

Have you ever wondered, months later, why you followed someone in the first place? PeepNote provides a field to enter the reason for following someone. Or, have you unfollowed someone because, though their bio matched your interests they never talk about those topics but instead simply twitter all the music they listen to? You can enter that in the "Reason you stopped following this user" field. You can do this, because PeepNote also lets you keep track of people you no longer, or never did follow. You can keep notes on any Twitter user, even those you don't follow.

To help you organize your users, you can add tags to them, and then filter your Twitter friends by those tags. This combined with searching on your notes, provides you with the means necessary to organize your Twitter peeps and remember important things about them.

 

PeepNote at RailsRumble

PeepNote was created as an entry for Rails Rumble 2009. The Rumble is a competition in which teams of no more than four, create a web site application using Ruby on Rails, with only 48 hours from start to finish and are judged first by an expert panel, and then by Internet voters. 237 teams competed in this year's competition, with 137 completing their projects in the 48 hour time period. Of the 137 submissions, 22 were chosen by the expert review panel to be voted on by the Internet community. PeepNote was selected as one of the 22 finalists, and finished 8th in the final voting.

 

Looking Forward...

PeepNote was the vision of Brian Burridge, who assembled a team of top professionals in their fields to complete the project for the Rumble, but with the intention that PeepNote would continue on past the competition. PeepNote continues to be improved and maintained by Josh Hemsley, Brian Burridge, and Steven Pothoven. They hope to continue to improve PeepNote and make it even easier for you to remember the important things about the people you meet online.
