August 7th, 2008

Yes, this is another Active Badge generator based on Twitter. but the good thing is that it is even better done than the competition and it also looks different. having a choice is important and twitstamp also gives you a bit of that.

The page is as sleek as the one by Tweetsnap if not more but uses the design approach of TwitterTag for the badges and the design is sleeker than the one from Tweetsnap or TwitterTag:

twitstamp.fluidmarkup.com

Unlike Tweetsnap that offers one single design or TwitterTag that allows customization only by changing the colors in it. TwitStamp offers you choice with six designs for your TwitStamp Badge:

So, you have 6 different styles for your badge and that is good addition. i would still like even more styles and color settings but even then. this badge is already good as it is. just like the others. you can use it everywhere. from your blog, to your website, to a forum or even in your e-mails if you want

One extra detail TwitStamp got is that you can also generate a static badge for a specific Tweet:

You only need the status number of the tweet as instructed in TwitStamp and you can also generate a static badge of one of yours favorite tweets or your favorite tweet from anyone in twitter.

TwitStamp is a project done by FluiMarkup who speciality is doing PSP specific projects. so this looks like their first web project for the general public. i like what i see from them , so that gives them some extra points and they should be able to get more customization and styles to this service. will keep my eye on them.

*UPDATE 08/08/08*: they now got the twitstamp.com domain so i changed it to the now official domain, they added two new styles and i also added them to the previous picture in this post.

There are lot of Twitter badges around but most of them are ugly. this is not the case of Tweetsnap.

Tweetsnap is a Twitter Active Badge Generator. what does that means?. well Active Badges can be considered the first Widgets back in 2005. it means that the photo of you badge will refresh a time after you tweet. the simplest of solutions for the end user because you don`t spent anything on resources unlike regular widgets.

It also has another reason for its simplicity and that is so you can put one of these in your blog, your site, your social network and as a signature in your Favorite forum and even in your e-mails.

I must also say that tweetsnap is one of the best designed sites for something as simple as a Active Badge Generator but if i may dare to suggest any improvement, would be to offer two kinds of badges and maybe, maybe some color options. beyond that, everything is already great.
