What is Sweetter 2.0?

Sweetter is a microblogging service, where you can write what you're doing, what you're thinking, you can write everything you want, but other people will vote your post, and this will make that your karma go up or down.

Sweetter is not Twitter, less is more. In Sweetter you can post what are you doing, in less than 140 characters. But you have, karma, TODO's, and a lot of things that twitter doesn't have, and it's free software, you can get the code, and setup a sweetter at home, for you and your friends.

The karma

This is fun. The objective is to be a "juaker". The karma changes between -50 and 50 points. There are three posible karma states. You can be:

• a juaker

  : you're the best, you have the power (25 < karma)

• a candidate

  : you want to be a juaker (-1 < karma < 25)

• a looser

  : you're the worse, people hates you (karma < -1)

Your karma can increase or reduce.

Increase:

• You post a sweet.
• Someone follows you.
• A sweet that you post is voted with a +.

Reduce:

• A follower of yours stops being one.
• A sweet that you post is voted with a -.
• Every day, at 23:45 GTM+2 the karma is reduced:
  • If you post in that day your karma sets to the 75%
  • If you don't post in that day, your karma sets to the 50%
