Hi HN,

I built this on July 4th, while pondering what effect Twitter has on modern day communication.

It analyzes the grade level of a Twitter account by using a modified version of the SMOG readability index and tells you your "smartest" and "un-smartest" tweets. Beak also tells you how you rank vs other Tweeters. There's also a leaderboard.

This was a fun day project for me and I'd really appreciate any feedback, comments, and suggestions.

Thanks, jl

Interesting. My "smartest" and "un-smartest" tweets together give an oddly accurate picture of me.

Smartest (grade level 17.1): Am I a bad man for buying Pepperidge Farms Holiday Entertaining Cookies (repeatedly!) even though I shall do no holiday entertaining?

Un-smartest (grade level 3.1): THERE IS A MOTHER FUCKING LIZARD IN MY MOTHER FUCKING HOUSE!
