Now here’s an inventive business model and value proposition. Create a mosaic of your friends or followers on Twitter and get it printed on your coffee cup, mousepad, T-shirt and living room carpet (this has to be next!). Here’s what Kaplak’s mosaic looks like.
Had some trouble putting it into the post directly, as the original embed code seems to collect all the images for the mosaic live on this site, and the load time apparently makes WordPress not display the post at all. Would be more clever to combine the icons into one big image, and then “image map” all the links to the Twitter profiles. So I created the above image myself – I did not however imagemap links to the Twitter profiles. Instead the above image links to the embed in a separate file.
Also there seem to be some hardcoded limits in place, which prevents me from creating a mosaic which includes _all_ Kaplak’s “friends” on Twitter.
Thanks to Silicon Republic for this tip.
