twitt.co.za - A Social Wall - Beta v0.152

Twitt.co.za is a 20% project of Outsource House. We have designed a Social Wall. The uses for this are very simple:
  • Show all your mentions as a background to your site.
  • Show all mentions on Twitter of a certain subject
  • Have a live and changing background for your site or div
  • Create an exciting background that will impress your site visitors.

This is still very much in beta, we will be updating it as we have time.

Upcoming plans:

  • The ability to use the Tweet Wall as a background for your site.
  • The ability to use this wall inside a div so that you can have the wall within your site structure.
  • The ability to search Twitter with more than 1 keyword. Done, you can search with as many keywords as Twitter allows. This is about 9 but will be reduced if your query has too many charcters.
  • The ability to search for more than 100 tweets.
  • Generally making it more pretty.
  • Ability to search Facebook for Friends and Foursquare for people who have checked in at your Shop / Venue
  • The need to Cache sources so that the Fail Whale or anything else is not a problem.
  • The ability to call all parameters via a url
  • The ability to use this in an ASP ASP.NET and PHP page
  • Gracefully degrade if JavaScript is turned off Works, degrades to nothing and the background colour is shown.
  • Use it safely in a site that contains JavaScript, it must not conflict
  • To create the ability to use a tweet wall as an image rather than as JavaScript, this would be static.
  • Have the avatars tile the background as far as the content reaches.
  • Have a credit in the bottom right corner for Twitt.co.za
  • Remove if site gets rendered on Mobile Phone.
  • Find out why Chrome Shows blank Images.
  • Test on most modern browsers. We think that IE 6 and before can be left out.
