dconstruction allows you to graph things over the course of a day via twitter. It was originally built by Rattle for measuring their engagement at dConstruct 2010 - dconstruct2010.rattlecentral.com
It allows a number of pre-defined twitter users to direct message a twitter account with a score and an associated comment e.g.
+8 code released
git clone git:// cp database.example database.yml rake gems:install cp application.example application.yml
In order to setup your own instance of dconstruction, you’ll need to create a twitter ‘application’ at twitter.com/apps (ensure you tick the ‘authentication checkbox too). Add the consumer key and secret information to the application.yml file. You’ll then need to authorise the dconstructon app with twitter. To do this run the script/authorise.rb script, following the instructions. You’ll be given an access token and secret which you should add to the application.yml. dconstruction application with this twitter application.
A rake task is used to poll for new tweets :
rake dconstruct:poll
This should be added to crond for automated polling.
