Fwiktr is an application meant to feed digital picture frames with a constant stream of random images with seemingly related contextual captions. It consists of a set of python scripts that given a message on twitter, will extract certain key parts of speech, and use that information to search for a image on flickr. It then overlays the tweet on the picture in an "interesting" way.
