How about VaroCMS for "Intresting Tweets"
For submission, you just paste in the URL to the Tweet, and we slurp it up and format it, then standard voting and commenting.

Comment replies could optionally link to your Twitter account and update as replies to the tweet.

-------------------------------

That's how it started. I can't believe that was only July 25th. It's a testament to the flexibility of VaroCMS and our code meister that it's been less than two months since the idea first came up.

The name ... I know rhymes with a certain N word, but then so does Trigger, Tigger, Digger etc. Can I just say that it's darn hard to find a domain name that has some relevance to what you're doing?

What's the relevance of Dwigger? Well, it's Digg + Twitter = Dwigger. We thought that would be the easiest way to describe a threaded commenting community based around voting for Tweets.

I like green. We wanted to stretch VaroCMS to make a site that looks very un-VideoSiftish. The colors are from here.

Lastly, the logo. We had read that the Twitter logo is made with a font called Chickens. So we bought it and put a big thick stroke on it.

It would be great to get some feedback on Dwigger, your thoughts or gripes. Head to the Dwigger blog and let us know.
