cursebird twitter

Do you cuss on Twitter? Do the people you follow do it? Some people don’t mind it but others are instantly offended if a word like ‘fuck’ shows up on their Twitter stream.

I had a lotta fun checking out Cursebird, a real-time feed of people swearing on Twitter. On top of streaming tweets with cuss words in them, it gives you a 7 day overview of the top swear words. ‘Fuck’ is currently no.1 with a 51.33% occurence, while ‘Shit’ and ‘Bitch’ follows with 35.15% and 8.46% respectively.

It’s really interesting to see Twitter users you don’t know get pissed off about stuff. The way their avatars + word balloons pop up and stream past kinda makes the whole thing comical. Like its a charade of people in a virtual play.

Not only that, you can put it a username and start digging to see if he/she has ever used any swear words. Pretty damn fun. Built by @richardhenry.
