“Twitter emulator” progress

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

OK, so now I’ve got my “Twitter emulator” working (complete post-to-wall, saving all posts into a database), now with post authors listed according to logged-on username [i.e. wall posting for logged on users only]. Almost out of beta, few final tests to go :-) .

My Twitter Emulator

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Is basically done (as far as the backend stuff). Will install on my blog soon :-) . It functions pretty much just like Twitter (allowing a user to “add his/her post to your wall,” then see the entire stream of posts, with the latest one he/she just added at the top of the list) except that it can be run on your own site internally! :0 Stay tuned ;) .

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”.

See it in action here!:
