Snipt obviously could be used beyond Twitter though – it’s an incredibly quick and easy way to post your source code online, either to just make it available for others to download, or perhaps to help troubleshoot a problem. Snipt lets you include line numbers with your code as well to make it easy to navigate and discuss.
While I love Snipt's simplicity, what would be great to see is a directory of source code that's neatly organized into each programming language for everyone to access. If Snipt takes off and lots of code gets shared, this would be the next logical direction for the site to move in.
The site was created by the founders of The College Blog Network, a user-generated directory of blogs at different universities around the world.
