We Make Pointless Stuff
But, between you and me, we're really neither pointless nor a corporation.
We're actually a collection of projects built by the team at Viget. We love building products for awesome clients most days, but sometimes we like building our own stuff, too. Gotta stay sharp, right?

Invite your friends to Lunnnch when you need to call in a large order. Perfect for office delivery orders when the google spreadsheet starts to feel cumbersome. Lunnnch lets you invite people to a group order via email and link to the menu they should review. It keeps all the orders in central place and remembers your previous Lunnnches so next week you aren’t starting from scratch.

We built this tiny application to highlight everything we dig about Durham, NC. The site displays tweets sent to @idigdurham (and those with the hashtag #idigdurham), as well as Flickr photos tagged idigdurham. It’s a medley of Durham love and local awesomeness.

Tweets of Fury lets you battle your Twitter nemesis in a Rock-Scissors-Paper duel. You and your opponent will face off in a best-2-out-of-3 match and we predict your hands will be sweating by Round 2. Your initial challenge to your enemy is tweeted publicly. The battle happens privately on the TOF site. And the next thing the twitter-sphere will see is a tweet from the loser ... a tweet that was written by the WINNER (cue ominous music). To the world it looks like any other tweet.
