    Snakes make up for everything.

    It's a bit slow! Hopefully the snake makes up for that.

    Neat - click 'do it' multiple times and you'll get multiple snakes. Only one food pellet though. And when there's several snakes, none of them grow. Still fun!

    I should probably stop you being able to click it multiple times - I think it's breaking my server!

    Elliot, I made a script that does exactly this, but with a HUGE performance increase. If youre interested, mail/tweet/whatever me.

    Martien: I think the key difference is that I have absolutely no idea what your script does, or how to use it :S

    it searches twitter for keywords, and extracts most popular terms also. I wanted to make an explore-like system, but twitter search does not update to often enough for it to be of real use imo. So I quit developing it. Sorry for it being still a bit complex and with no extra information.

    This is great, I'd like to talk to you about writing this as a plugin for our new Hummingbird 2 software for Twitter.

    Developers of plugins to the software take a commission, just like Apple's App Store.
