Future Twitter app ideas

Monday, September 14th, 2009

1) Those offering expanded search/grouping/collaborative (or other interactive) functionality.

2) “Pre-tweeting” capabilities ;) .

3) Apps allowing for greater capabilities as far as posting from sources other than via a user’s own Twitter page (see: @woork’s AWESOME post “Twitter: send message from a PHP page using Twitter API” for one example ….)

4) Alternative/even user-customizable display methods for Tweets (check out ExecTweets for one example of a really cool, animated tweet display method [looks like uses jQuery/Ajax]….). I plan on adding an app like this one, but one that will allow for the scrolling of tweets to stop upon the user’s placing the mouse over a given tweet that interests him/her, a la the Twitter custom Search Widget, which reminds me of a whole other area I plan on playing on with at some point in the future ;) .

OK, enough Twittering around, back to business (and remember my fellow tweeples to focus on end goals/results first, and then on developing the best methods toward reaching those goals!) Stay cool everybody, and please feel free to contact me for ideas, collaborations, feedback, etc.

Customized Tweet Feed Display Twitter app

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Completed the first phase of my “Customized Tweet Feed Display” Twitter app. What it does is: first, allow you to define 1-3 customized “tweet feed groups” (such as, for example “Social Media News,” “Travel Alerts,” etc) Then, you specify the Twitter username(s) for each custom tweet feed group, along with the number of tweets to see from each respective Twitter user. Following that, a combined group of tweets is displayed for you, clustered within each individual “tweet group”.

Custom Tweet Feed Display for multiple groups

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Cool! Got the custom tweet feed display working for multiple groups!! (even if it has some weird propietary issues that seem to depend on the publishing client the the person used to make the tweets, must be somehow tied to the Twitter API). Will keep working on.

Here is the current (beta) URL:

My customized Twitter feed display app

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Customized Twitter feed display app progress coming along nicely. (Cleaned up character display formatting issues, added interface for user to be able to enter in Twitter username(s) and desired number of most recent tweets from selected user(s) to see [tweets within past 2.5 weeks]). Uses PHP.

Try out the beta here!
