Twitter Peek

2009-2010

TwitterPeek was supposed to be a single-use device for Twitter. For $200. The main question here is why this product ever existed? Didn’t all heavy Twitter users already have a smartphone? Another issue was that the device didn’t even tweet very well. The screen only displays the first 20 characters of each message, and reading an entire tweet involved a lot of annoyingly slow scrolling. Linked websites were inaccessible, new tweets were delayed, and the list of bad features goes on and on. One tech reviewer wrote: »The TwitterPeek is so dumb it makes my brain hurt.«
