If you've ever wondered what it's like to log into your Twitter account as Ashton Kutcher, Evan Williams, Trend Hunter, or Kanye West, CtwittLIKE is a web application that'll let you do just that.
To use CtwittLIKE, just enter the username of the person you'd like to emulate. You'll then see a stream of tweets from the users that individual follows--almost exactly what they'd see if they were logged in. It's a bit voyeuristic, but a neat way to step into someone else's virtual shoes.
