Since the early days, color has alwasy been a fundamental part of Twimbow. We use it to assign gmail-like labels to users, to organize your friends and to make your tweets stand out and make them colored. People associate the word “colorful” to “Twimbow” by default now.
Today, thanks to the partnership with Paraimpu, we want to offer you another innovative way to use colors with Twimbow.
Let’s start from the beginning. T-Hotel is a wonderful 5* hotel in the middle of Cagliari, main city of Sardinia, the italian island in the middle of the mediterranean sea, where Twimbow was originally invented. On top of their big glass tower, there is a big colored light that makes it very well recognizable at night (installed by Quit). The color of this light can change: red, blue, green, orange, yellow, white, cyan
Starting today, you will be able to change the color of that light in real-time from Twimbow. You just need to write a new tweet on Twimbow containing the tag #thotel and, at the end of the tweet, the color of your choice. For example, if you write a tweet like the following on Twimbow:
- “I’d love to stay at #thotel and I want its light to turn #red”.
it will be processed and will immediately change the color of that light to RED. The tag can actually be everywhere in the tweet, but if you put it at the end, the tweet will be shown colored on Twimbow as well 
There will be video camera pointed to the light for 24 hours / day very soon. We will make sure to make #thotel a rich tag on Twimbow then, so you will be able to click on the T-Hotel icon (that we will show on the tweet) to see the live video.
Enjoy!
note: it works at night GMT+1.
