Ben Sternthal & Friends

For the past few months we have been working on a rewrite of the application driving TellMeTwin.com. The focus of the rewrite is transitioning from a Drupal proof of concept to a fast flexible application. As part of this process we are making incremental changes, things that either bugged me so much I had to change them or things that drupal restricted/made difficult. Once the relaunch happens we have big plans for feature development

An ongoing challenge has been the addition of user generated content. Since TellMeTwin matches users based on likes and dislikes we must allow users to add anything they want.

In the rewrite we have made this process much easier and hopefully less confusing. The demo video shows how easy it is to add something new. In this video I will:

1. Search for “Ting Tings”, see it is not on TellMeTwin
2. Add “Ting Tings” to the category “music”
3. Upload a photo, add some descriptive text
4. Rate the item
5. Check out the stuff TellMeTwin pulls (images, videos, amazon, wikipedia)

This video is from my local machine, the new application should launch in a few weeks.
(for this demo i just copied text from wikipedia and uploaded a creative commons image.). ln the future the process will be even easier, with auto text population and image uploading as part of the creation process.
