Shaq Speak - translate yur text so it looks like shaq wrote it

**stickycarrots** · 18 March, 2009, 22:12 PM

So, you may or may not know it, but Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal) has a Twitter. I love to read his updates just because I think it is hilarious how he writes. Well, I decided to create a small site that will allow you to tweet just like Shaq. It's called ShaqSpeak.

I got the name Shaq Speak from Leet Speak. If you head over to the site you'll see everything is powered by AJAX and the translation happens as you type.

So, if you type in:
Don't you think netbuilders is the best forum ever?

it will be instantly translated to:
dnt u think netbuilders is da best forum eva?

I've also created two IM clients that will do the same thing for you. Just send them an IM:

AIM: shaqspeak
Yahoo! IM: shaqspeak

I will get an MSN client up soon too. What do you think?

Luke, you've got some pretty interesting ideas!

Interesting idea. But why in the world anyone would like to talk like that?

Its really an appealing idea but I am not sure why any of your site is working for me. May be your server is down or.... (Its 9:11 AM for you to check your error logs)

My servers were upgraded today and everything went smooth, but it may be 12-24 hours before your ISP catches up with the changes. Let me know what you think once you can actually see the site
