About
E-poem changes with the Twitter activity — each time the e-poem is accessed or reloaded it queries Twitter (a micro-blogging service) for a most recent mention of love related keyword. (Try reload.)
Sound is an integral part of the e-poem. You might need an appropriate plug-in as suggested by the browser.

RT @ladygaga: I push harder, dance longer, bleed stronger. I don't want the greatest KISS tribute band of all time, I want the real band. I want KISS.
