Hello - I'm trying to create a web site that is simply a twitter stream (the closer it looks to twitter the better) that displays all the tweets which contain a certain word. This site here: http://sblogtweets.blogspot.com/ That's basically what I want to do. But I can't find an easy app or widget to do that, so I'm assuming they coded it somehow. Anyone know an easy way to do it? Seems like it shouldn't be that hard, and it seems like lots of people would want to be doing this.
Do a search and grab the RSS feed for the search: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=stoopid questions
That's a great idea, thanks Phynder. Your choice of keywords was also humorous. I don't suppose that would have the functionality, though - replies and photos, for example.
I was just kidding with the keyword - glad you saw the humor. No, there would be no extra functionality - just the text stream. How are you doing it now? It looks like you have a solution in place.
Unfortunately that's not my site - I've had the idea for a while, and I came upon that site, which was doing it exactly as I'd like to. But I can't figure out how. My guess is they took advantage of the Twitter API (whatever that means), and just coded it themselves. But that's way beyond my capability, so I was hoping there was a widget or something out there to do the same thing. It seems to me there have got to be a lot of sites out there like this, but I'm having no luck searching around. So I thought I'd ask the experts here.
