Well, I should be sleeping but instead I just had to code my latest in a whole series of Twitter tools!
Anyway, I've mentioned that I started a twitter thingy in PHP before, but since then it's now got themes, multi user support, last.fm integration....
Flavour 1
This is the basic one I made first.
It grabs the JSON Tweets from the Twitter API and uses them to put some basic Twitter info on an image, thus
It's also got basic colour themes! You can have it in basic grey, a nice shade of blue, red or even green. Wow!
Flavour 2
This is the second edition.
The first one is HUGE, so this is more compact.
The fonts have to be jiggled about a bit to accommodate the smaller area better too, for example:
However, this one also can grab the feed for you and your friends on Twitter, so if my Friend Wim posts a Tweet and it's more recent than one of my own, it'll show up if I use the friends command:
The above example shows microformat's feed, but a tweet from "t" because "t" is a friend of microformat and posted the most recent tweet.
Flavour 3
This is the third and so far final edition.
The first was cool, the second was neater, the third is basically the second, only this time it skips the whole multi-user approach and adds in a whole other site. Multi-site goodness!
So if you ever post a tweet that is similar to "listening to music" then it can grab the song you just listened to from your last.fm profile.
How cool is that!
