Canada Student Tracks Real-Time Use of F-word on Twitter

Gutterballs may have been leading it for some time now when it comes to the most frequent use of the F-word in movies. However, when it comes to online social media interaction, many users in the world may have broken all the world records. Now a Canadian student comes up with a Web site which tracks real-time use of the F-word on Twitter. The Web site which records it whenever someone around the planet drops the F-bomb on Twitter is aptly called FBOMB.co.

Martin Gingras is a 22-year-old of the Carleton University. It is the utter personal distaste of Mr Gingras for wearing words that pushed him to create a Web site which works combining a couple of the most widely used applications in the world, Twitter and Google Maps. The Web site tracks it whenever someone uses the F-word on Twitter. However, this is only possible if the location settings are added to the Twitter account.

There is, on the other hand, no threat of personal security that may be caused due the tracking of individual locations. Mr Gingras claims that he does not keep the track of the actual locations where users tweeting the F-word from. He believes that the Web site should only be treated as a means of light-hearted entertainment. The Web site does allow a user to give permission to the Web site to track whenever they drop the F-bomb. Otherwise, it is not possible for the Web site to track any user.

Mr Gingras claims that people do not appear to be offended by his efforts, The Global Post reports. Many a reader had already contacted him for applauding him for the effort. They also requested him to add additional features to the Web site to make it even more interesting. The other features which readers requested include 'filter by location'. Nevertheless, Mr Gingras wants to take the job market by storm with weapons like the Web site when he completes his degree in computer science.
