Oh f#?!: Cursebird creator bringing Twitter to Call of Duty this week?

callofdutytwitter.jpgThis is certainly one of the most potentially interesting surprises I've heard in some time: NetworkWorld is reporting that 19 year old Richard 'Fantastic' Henry, creator of Twitter expletive-tracking web-app Cursebird, has been hired by Call of Duty 4 developer Infinity Ward to create another "Twitter-related project."

What could this be? Something similar, perhaps (or inspired by, even?) to friend of Offworld Tom Armitage's Left 4 Dead Twitter-bots? In-game messaging brought directly to your mobile/desktop?

No one's talking quite yet, but it looks like the wait won't be long: Henry tweeted just yesterday that the project is 'hopefully launching this week.'

A few clean words from the creator of Cursebird [NetworkWorld, via Multiplayer]

Cursebird is not an original idea. My friend Joe made Shitwitter 2 months earlier. Check the whois registrations.

YEAH! And this account has been using Twitter for swear words since before EITHER of your domains were registered:

Maybe they should sue, claiming exclusive rights to using Twitter with the single interest of cursing?

heh
