This is a small project I put together to experiment with the Twitter Streaming API. It pulls in all the Tweets in (approximately) the continental United States and displays them in real time on a map.
Demo
Check out the working demo. If it's down, either I'm updating it or it totally crashed the server. ;) Feel free to send me a message or an email if you can't get to the demo.
Getting it to Work for You
You can run this on your own if you have Node.js installed.
-
Clone the repository
-
Install the dependencies:
npm install -
Run the server using your Twitter credentials:
TWITTER_USER=YourUsername TWITTER_PASS=your_password ./bin/twimap.js
By default the server binds to port 8080, so you can check it out at http://localhost:8080.
