Togetter[J], a web service for curating tweets by hashtags or containing keywords, has introduced its English version called Chirpstory on Thursday. As well as Togetter (Japanese version), Chirpstory allows you to make a “story” curating all tweets about a specific topic only by drag and drop of several tweets for defining the topic. It’s Twitter OAuth-compatible.
Togetter was developed by ex-Yahoo Japan engineer Toshiaki Yoshida[J] (@yositosi) last year, it has engaged 2 million unique visitors per month. This year it won the Good Design Awards, a comprehensive program for the evaluation and encouragement of design organized by Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organization (JIDPO).
He is currently seeking business partners and developers who have in-depth know-how about advanced technologies and infrastructure management.
