Twivo Extension

TVNext Hackathon
I hate spoilers.

Seriously, they are the worst. Now, I love following the stars of my favorite tv shows, but they often spoil my shows by live tweeting before I watch the show.

Which is why I created this nifty app - a Tivo for Twitter, or as I like to call it, Twivo.

Type in tags used by your favorite show (ex Game of Thrones) and hit record. All tweets with this phrase will be blocked from your view

Hit stop when the show ends.

When you are ready to watch the show, hit play, and the previosly hidden tweets will be visible, and will stream down in order!

If you have any questions or comments, fees free to contact me at @imjen or [email protected]
