New Twitter application Twibbon created by Storm ID
Edinburgh based digital agency Storm ID has created a new Twitter application called Twibbon.
The application has been launched by the agency's division Storm Ideas and allows users to spread awareness of causes by overlaying a small icon onto their profile image.
The applications launched last Friday and has already received 100,000 hits with over 1,000 ‘Twibbons’ having been created by users, encompassing causes that range from political movements to musical and sporting initiatives.
A spokesperson for Storm ID explained: “Twibbon was born out of the distinct sense that Twitter had moved beyond facilitating casual social networking to become a thriving hub for political activism and a propensity to make that engagement with issues as accessible and enjoyable as possible.”
