I’ve had what I think is a great idea for how to use Twitter. It capitalizes on the Hotornot principle – people like the risk of showing aspects of themselves to others, in return for which those others will pass judgment on them.

And guess what? People have been sending me their URLs! My intention is to provide honest and hopefully amusing feedback that the site owner will find useful, and the rest of the Twitter community will find entertaining.
Take a look at it here twitter.com/showusyoursite, and send me your URL. If you dare!
