Twitter Goggles

When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you’re really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you’re in the right state of mind?
By default, Mail Goggles is only active late night on the weekend as that is the time you’re most likely to need it. Once enabled, you can adjust when it’s active in the General settings.
Hopefully Mail Goggles will prevent many of you out there from sending messages you wish you hadn’t
However, in the nicest possible way, sent email is not the problem (apart from the odd momentary lapse of reason). Spam is a problem, sure, but this won’t help much. But its a different story for Twitter et al.
Yes…the real use of this is on microblogging sites, where the desire to communicate the absolute trivialities of life is so strong that it pushes the signal to noise ratio to levels that even Hello! magazine cannot get to, and Big Brother ca only look on in awe.
However, for the rest of the Twitterverse, we believe some form of filtering is a very good idea, and self-filtering is a very good place to start. Instead of asking yourself “What are you doing now” and Twittering it, you could ask yourself “What should I be doing instead” and then shutting TFU 
And so, ever helpful, we at Broadsight have copi…adapted the Mail Glass widget for Twitter, as you can see above.
