With Twitterspirit, Twitter Gets Its Own Snapchat: A Disappearing Tweet Hack, Courtesy Of An Ex-Twitter Engineer

Screen shot 2013-09-02 at 13.17.49Twitter is working on ways of getting more juice out of its vast trove of user content -- that new "blue line" for conversation threads, for example, is a way for older conversations to resurface -- so I don't know how it is going to feel about this: a developer called Pierre Legrain, once himself a member of the Flock, has come up Twitterspirit, a service that lets users set an expiration time for their tweets with a simple hashtag. Think of it as a Snapchat for Twitter, complete with its own emphemeral imagery (for Snapchat's cute ghost, substitute an equally hard-to-pin-down spirit).
