Twipple is a Twitter-powered initiative that seeks to assail deserving individuals with random acts of goodwill--and encourage others to do the same. The word 'twipple' is meant to blend Twitter and the idea that the service can provide a ripple effect of goodwill.
Being Twippled is the antithesis to being punked; a handsome stranger might pay them a compliment, hand them $40 or gift them a book by their favorite author. You can nominate a deserving individual to Twipple or conduct acts of goodwill on your own; so far, 72 random acts of kindness have been performed on Twipple.
Twipple also has a Zazzle store with a handful of products; all proceeds will go to NY Cares.
