According to the site, Twistori is the "first step in an ongoing social experiment."
Twistori pulls tweets from Twitter containing specific keywords: 'I Love', 'I Hate', 'I Think', I Believe', 'I Feel, and I Wish. It then publishes the tweets it finds anonymously in a non-stop, auto-updating river of news. The result is a continuous stream of feelings from the Twitter community.
The brainchild of Amy Hoy and Thomas Fuchs, it's not clear from the site what the second step in the experiment is. But for now, watching the feelings of anonymous Twitter users scroll by is strangely addictive and exciting when you see one of your own tweets appear.
I'll leave you with this (slightly altered) thought to bear in mind when you're watching the flow of thoughts and feelings on Twistori:
