I want a live Twitter display like the one on Windows 7 site: http://www.microsoft.com/windows... that's cool!
me too! - Luigi Filograna
@scobleizer I wonder if the Windows 7 team #win7 would post how they did it. I like the features such as speeding up and slowing down the feed. Also the fact it more then just a Twitter display you can select which social network site you want to look at. - Kevin Tunis
I like the anonymizer they have on it =P 'from Twitter User'... They know which user it is! - Travis Koger
Would be very nice to see how they did it. - Roberto Bonini
Cool feature! - Marco ILLESCAS
The basic code to do the deed is here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows... and here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows... Basically it's a jQuery script that connects to here: http://cdn.social.windows.com/feeds... and gets the URLs that it needs to retrieve for the data. It's not exactly "real-time", but it is close to real time. On the back end, they have some script that polls for data (or hooks into the firehose feed, dunno) and saves the bits to send back to the script. - Otto
Otto thanks I will take a look at the links and see what I can build - Kevin Tunis
