Since a few months I’ve been working on a flash widget that uses twitter and flickr. This tool has been used at a number of events (concerts, seminars) to create a live report, filled with photos and remarks of the audience.
Accessing Twitter directly from Flash is quite a pain so I was happy to discover the SWX tool by Aral Balkan. SWX allows you to access all kinds of web API’s (like twitter and flickr) by calling just a few lines of code.
When using this tool to report an event I needed a way to filter out specific messages. At first I achieved this by using Twitter’s “@replies” but this needed the Flash application to be logged in to a Twitter account. Right now I’m using the “summize” API to filter Twitter messages.
The tool was used by Nieuwegarde (8 uur overwerken), Lopend Vuur, Lifehacking academy, Noorderslag and a couple more. The original concept came from deondernemers.nl and lopend vuur. PHP scripting was done by Arno Hoogma.
