DIC52 Week 3: Twitter API

Dave Sherohman's picture

This week is something of a gimme for me, given that I've already done app development against the Twitter API. For the sake of something simple and accessible, I opted to revise my earlier Iron Man post on Monitoring Hashtags with Perl and Net::Twitter to make use of Twitter::TagGrep and call that my DIC 52 Weeks of Code entry for this week:

FishTwits

Project date: 2009

Fully-custom web application at FishTwits.com aggregating fishing-related information posted to Twitter by its users. Also includes photo uploads, sending messages via Twitter, link shortening, and general social networking capabilities.

Steven Speldewinde, CEO and Co-Founder wrote:

Dave is an extremely talented coder. He has the ability to take concepts described and demonstrated in non-technical language by non-technical people and code them into a reality. His hard work, ideas and positive attitude, in our start-up company, were greatly appreciated and we hope to continue working with him into the future.

Net::Twitter 3.x and Moose performance

Marc Mims has recently taken over maintainership of Net::Twitter and rebuilt it on top of Moose. This has been a cause of much concern for me, as it does not appear that the non-Moose Net::Twitter::Lite will meet my needs. Yesterday's Net::Twitter Roadmap post proved quite reassuring in that regard, but did not fully address my concerns. As Marc's blog does not appear to support comments, I am posting my thoughts on it here.

Twitter::TagGrep

Project date: 2009

Perl module to watch Twitter updates for messages containing any of several tags. Submitted to CPAN at Twitter::TagGrep for distribution under the GPL or Artistic License.

Monitoring Hashtags with Perl and Net::Twitter

I've taken an interest in writing some customized interface code to give me better control over my twitter feed and this program is my first move in that direction. Its basic function is to watch for tweets from the people you follow which contain tags from a list of tags that interest you.
