No hands Tweetwall

01 Aug 2011

This is a simple wall-o-tweets designed to refresh automatically, and require no manual input. It would be used to display incoming tweets to a predetermined term (e.g. @username, special topic #hashtag) for a radio DJ who is in the studio. It leverages a simple AJAX call to Twitter, retrieves the tweets, parses them and spits them out chronologically and nicely ordered thanks to jQuery.Masonry. Some extra features include keyboard shortcuts, deleting already read messages, manual refresh. **Might not be working anymore.
