Interesting idea but I was totally caught off-guard by the automatic tweet posted when I clicked on the little birdy in the middle. Really not cool. Deleted the tweet immediately. At least let someone know you're going to be posting a tweet so that they can decide if they're game.

Sorry. In the middle used to be a font switcher, but it didn't turn out that well, so I replaced it with a custom tweet button. Yeah, maybe it would be less intrusive to move it to the bottom.

Edit: done!

Pro tip: looks like refreshing the page gives you different faces.

I wonder if these are pre-compiled or is there some algorithm at play that makes these dynamically?

Awesome! Thanks for taking my tip on-board! Other than my initial reaction to the tweet, compliments on a pretty sweet idea!

You don't have to refresh the page, you can just click again to get a different face.
