Don't Leave Twitter to Check the Weather, Twuition Will Do It For You

Twuition

Twuition.com is a new web-based application that automatically responds to tweets with information about product pricing, local weather and maps of restaurants. All you have to do is tweet a specific hashtag, such as #twuitionweather New York City, NY.

The response you get is relatively quick, taking about three minutes, and it looks like the above image. Along with the tweet, the platform generates an advertisement for each response.

Blast Applications, a premier creator and developer of iPhone, Facebook and Twitter applications launched Twuition. The app will also tell you the current national debt, translate text, and can find nearby locations. For example, once typing '#twuitiontranslator hello French' it will respond with “Bonjour.”

Dino Luzzi, CEO of BlastApplications, says that this application allows mobile users to stay on Twitter when on their phone. "The idea is for Twitter users not to have to leave Twitter while they are online to find out from these apps," Luzzi said. "It also makes it more convenient at the same time if they want to meet their Twitter friends at a restaurant or location of their choice..."
