1:06:20 PM: If this works, all of my tweets will be gathered into a single updating blog post, until I send the liveblog stop code.
1:14:35 PM: now, if this works, it’d be even cooler if I could have it pull all tweets based on a hashtag – either my one, or everyone’s.
1:17:46 PM: hmm… Could it be passing over tweets that start with @jimgroom – that could be a killer feature. wish I’d thought of that…
1:19:31 PM: yeah. the twitter –> blog liveblogging plugin seems to skip tweets that start with @ but includes all others. #hashtags?
1:23:00 PM: OK. This Twitter Liveblog thing is pretty fracking slick. I think I’m going to try this for the next event I’m at. Very cool.
1:32:20 PM: that’s interesting – my tweets getting pulled into a single updating blog post, with comments happening on the blog post as well.
1:34:24 PM: http://twitpic.com/jinnt – How does it handle links? Twitpics?
1:45:33 PM: New post: Trying WP to Twitter (http://cli.gs/G1LhR)
1:55:14 PM: this liveblogging thing looks really promising. I’ll definitely keep it handy…
This is awesome, now could we use it to aggregate Tweets, say from UMW tweeters, instantly on the frontpage of UMW Blogs? Or,thinking about blogs, bring posts onto the front page in real-time so you can see the dynamism in the community. Kind of like the sitewide activity widget, but in real time, streaming the stuff that is happening through.
So very cool….I love the real-time web, which would be quite powerful for a vibrant, active community.
Looks like it’s single-user only. It’s configured with a Twitter username/password (mine) but it seems like it’d be perfect to be adapted to use hashtags as the source of tweets. I’ve posted to the WP plugins forum to see if it’s possible. If so, that’d be a killer event/course/conference/class/concert/whatever liveblog service.
