We were all told when we were little kids to not cuss. Some parents broke out chili peppers to put in the kids mouths while others simply collected money and put it into the ominous swear jar. Well, a new twitter application is out to clean up the social network of all its potty mouth users. SwearJarr works with a self checking model where individuals can go back and police their own posts.  If you are one of those people who feel as if they need to police the web for crime, SwearJarr will make you an honorary member of the Swear Police once you start scanning your friends profiles for profanity.

SwearJarr recommends a monetary donation for cussing on twitter, with the donation increasing with the severity of the word. The donations are then split between two different charities which change on a monthly basis.

SwearJarr estimates that over 475,000 cuss words are tweeted daily, meaning some serious good could be done depending on the amount of people who get on board with the program.  While  Twitter will never be a swear free environment, perhaps you could balance out the foul language with some charitable donations.
