Caroline helped me transition from my previous email marketing program to MailChimp. She was responsive, efficient, and gave me exactly what I wanted - a seamless transition for my newsletter readers, and at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend Caroline and her services.

Twitterscapes image
This project, built on CodeIgniter, is my first and only true invention. Twitterscapes, on a page load, pulls Twitter data and maps the data into images, each character represented in a monospace pixel, aligned left-to-right, as though meaning to be read as a set of tweets. The color of each pixel is determined by the user's profile colors stored in their Twitter preferences, and therefore the image left of the tweet pictorially represents the rhythm of speech, the user's personality, and the effort to send speech out into the world, more personally and conceptually than the tweet itself. Twitterscapes cannot be reversed to re-capture the tweets in each image, but the Tweets are stored with the scape for curious users to view them and observe the color translation first-hand. Twitterscapes can be translated to fabric, art prints, rugs, and more - and are fully commemorative of the moment in time they were pulled - as in "Here is a picture of the internet noise just as we Scaped!"
