I don't post as often as I want/need/should and I blame that on working too much, but not on my own stuff unfortunately. Until tonight… Enter my idea for FAILreport.com:
What is it?
It's where all your "fail" shouts and aggravations entered on Twitter are pulled into one spot and displayed for everybody to laugh at. It's powered by Tweetscan, PHP and the awesome MagpieRSS aggregator.
EDIT: As of early May 2008 I've updated the site to use Summize.com for search as it proved better and far more reliable.
Appreciation and help
I've got to send props out to Brent Spore (@iboughtamac on twitter) for taking my quick idea and comments and busting out a sweet design in under an hour allowing me to code the whole thing and launch in under three. Original ideas came from TwitterTale and Brent's original Drnkn site.
Also shout-out to Beau (@beauhlf on twitter) for helping tweak my PHP code.
In closing…
I'd appreciate it if you go check it out at FAILreport.com and let me know what you think. Also add me on Twitter if you haven't already: @chuckreynolds. Thanks and see you soon with some more fun projects. ;)

Thanks guys, i figure it was an instasite so all hand on deck. Let me know if need anything else. what are the stats saying?
Glad you took the energy to BLOG after creating a new site / toy. Blogging what you did is the ONE WAY that you did NOT fail the project, otherwise the entire effort would have been FAIL! ;-) Great job!
