Twitter stream tracker

The intention of this is to learn how mongodb works, and do some frontend realtime updates (using node.js and some queueing).

So, its a quick and dirty (very kiss) app to monitor a twitter stream, store it in mongoDB and then showing it live.

v1.

Quick and dirty version.

  • Get the stream up and running
  • store tweets in a mongo collection
  • show tweets in a page using ajax (not live yet)

v1.5.

  • Count retweets (voting) and show top ranked tweets.
  • Add configuration pannel to control and configure the stram.

v2.

  • Real time updates in the frontend
