Never underestimate the power of Twitter even in the design world. Kunst Buzz, an Amsterdam-based art studio have come up with the clever idea of making art from tweets. You can commission the art studio for a self-portrait and they will incorporate your tweets into the portrait. The portraits are available in colors like blue, pink, red and black and a 80 x 120 cm poster will cost you more than 300USD!

If you have twitter and are getting pissed at the growing problem of addressing bed bugs, here is a something for you. Protect-A-Bed has announced that they will be hosting a Q&A session via Twitter, where much of the bed bug problems can be shared and addressed.

Among the people who will be entertaining the event include edBugCentral.com experts, entomologists Rick Cooper and Jeff White, who will be fielding questions and providing immediate feedback to participants during the discussion.

“The number of bed bug mentions on Twitter right now is right in sync with the recent surge in bed bug conversations taking place all across the board in other online communities,” said James Bell, CEO of Protect-A-Bed. “It all adds up to an incredibly troublesome issue and Protect-A-Bed is committed to educating the public on ways to control the problem before it gets even worse.”

The event is slated for Tuesday, June 23 at 2 p.m. EST. By using the hash tag “#PAB” in their tweets, participants’ questions will automatically be added to the queue of questions and answered in the order they are submitted. Participants will also be entered in a random drawing to win one of three prize giveaways, each including a Protect-A-Bed mattress encasement and set of pillow protectors.
