Tinaa is an application that works in conjunction with twitter to help me organize my twitter thoughts with predefined tags.

Tinaa was built because I do a lot of reading on the subway, sans internet connection. I found myself making a lot of notes and eventually started twittering those notes so they were not scribbled down throughout the pages of whatever I was reading. Tinaa provided a way to save and organize those notes, putting them in a useful context.

Tinaa grabs your twitter feed and parses through it looking for instructions such as

• [map] – find place or loacation on a google map, with the ability to set a default location
• [person] – tinaa looks for this person in:
• ????????? o google
• ????????? o facebook
• ????????? o linkedin
• ????????? o myspace
• [lookup] – tina provides a link and thimbnail for the location or a google search if none is provided , and sets your twitter as a note
• [read] – tinaa looks for the title of the resource on amazon
• [listen] – tinaa looks for the title/artist on iTunes
• [todo] – tinaa adds this item to your to do list
• [define] – tinaa looks up the definition of the specified word on dictionary.com
• [grocer] – things to pick up at the grocery

recently I added the functionality for tinaa to grab anything after a colon in your tweet and save it as an editable note. So the syntax is currently:

[tinaaTag] thing to tag: notes that usually make tinaa taged notes more human readable/understandable.

currently I need to:

• setup account setup page
• create a hot/cute web2.0 representation of a robotic secretary
• create a user interface
• create a way to define new categories, and rules for those categories
• take suggestions for new commands
• determine a balanced interval for checking the timeline
• build a prefrence to allow Tinaa to remove your notes, so they are stored wthin Tinaa and not posted on your twitter account (needed?)
• rename to skyylia or Kayvaa

please do not hesitate to comment with suggestions or requests.

I am considering the following additional features:

• ability to email your tweets to tinaa and she will post them for you
• ability to add attachments to emailed tweets, where they will be saved on the server, a tinyURL created for them, and referenced in your tweet
• ability to add images that will be saved on the server and given a tinyURL, referenced in your tweet?

the interface is so basic i’m a bit upset and that will probably be the next thing I tackle (PK?). I am at this time only trying to determine whether or not anyone other than me will use this…

If you would like to participate in the beta – please email me and I will set up an account for you.
