Sort Twitter Feed by Gothic
Personally, I like Twitter’s algorithmic timeline, but I know that makes me a nerd and a shill. The Other Orders web toy will take your timeline and sort it to your liking. You can get the timeline in chronological order; you can sort the tweets of all users by the number of likes or retweets to see the most popular. Or let Other Orders analyze the text of these tweets and unearth the most apocalyptic, the most exclamatory, the most embarrassing-sounding, the most police, the most reverent on TED, or the most gothic.
For example, the most popular tweets from my timeline:
The most exclamatory:
Most corporate sound:
Most liked:
Go to the “Other Orders” section and look for all sorts of tweets that Twitter is hiding.
If you’re not a big Twitter user, you can use site filters for the top 100 Project Gutenberg books. Here is the best line from A Christmas Carol :
The phantom slowly, seriously, quietly approached.
The second most erotic line from Frankenstein :
They put him in bed and rubbed him, and Daniel went into town for a pharmacy, but life did not exist at all.
And the most Kafkaesque line from The Secret Garden :
Nobody believes that I will live to be an adult.
