The goal of TipTopTweet is to allow users of twitter to A) Let people know who and what they find interesting on Twitter and B) Find interesting people and content.
Dungeon Master
TipTopTweet has been designed, developed, styled, tested, and promoted by Matthew Rathbone. It was created during evenings, weekends, sleepless nights, and lunch breaks. It took him a really long time.
How TipTopTweet is Supported
TipTopTweet is running on my own money. Should the site prove to be popular it might make some money from advertising. If you want to help out please get in touch.
