Look Into My Eyes, with Twitter Lists
I’ve been collecting the profile pics of people on Twitter who represent themselves with a single eye.
Fine, that’s really normal.
But now, Twitter have made my ‘hobby’ easier with Twitter Lists.
I’ve been able to create a list called ‘eye-avatars’ and I’d be very grateful if you could send me links to more and more ‘eyes’ – I figure we all know an eye-guy or girl.
I’ve got 60 at the moment, and I’m interested to understand if, for example, there are types of people who use close-up images of an eye. I need hundreds more eyes.
Thanks to Twitter Lists, my ongoing obsession with the images people chose to represent themselves with has received a boost, and I’ve gone a bit crazy setting up loads of other lists too – including:
Look into my eyes – not around my eyes – on Twitter and here below.

Couple of contenders, albeit less close-up, it’s all about the single sly eye:
