FAQS
WHAT IS IMAGE RETWEEVER?
Image Retweever is a tweet stream visualization app. Images from hashtags and friends flow by. If you’re not sure what hashtags to use at first, don’t worry, Image Retweever comes preloaded with example hashtags.
WHAT IS THE NSFW FILTER?
The NSFW filter is the “not safe for work filter.” It filters out the majority of images that would not be considered safe for work. However, due to the massive volume of photos and tags, not all images will be filtered.
HOW ARE IMAGES SORTED OUT OF THE NSFW FILTER?
Think of a developer in their 50’s with a daughter. That’s me. If I wouldn’t want my daughter to see the image tweet, or I wouldn’t want her to see me looking at it, it gets filtered. The baseline for the filter was built off of #sexy.
