GeoTwitter found a permanent home and got already feedback
Finally I found a permanent home for geoTwitter where you can check out the Alpha 0.1 and of course follow me at Twitter. To stay up to date with GeoTwitter news subscribe to the feed.
GeoTwitter is being hosted by Hostingfest, a extremely cheap yet good hoster. I can't believe they are still there.
GeoTwitter is open source and the project can be found here.
I have received already quite a lot of feedback, even bad feedback was actually good for me. Just to answer your questions:
- The GeoRSS feed will allow you to use any map viewer, supporting GeoRSS to see where are your friends. You can use Google Maps and copy and paste the url provided by GeoTwitter
- I added the What are you doing and where are you questions on the main screen.
- Login may be slow when twitter login is slow. We just pipe into their login.
- Look and feel is still horrible. I know and I'll get somebody to do a better job than me.
- Hyperlinks on messages cannot be click. Thanks I'll fix that.
- How can I attached it to SQL 2005? I'll upload the script to create the 2 tables need it. As we use twitters database we only store people's locations and a simple log.
I would recommend you to download the source code from CodePlex and improve it yourself, you can always check in the code.
Thanks for the feedback.
Cheers
Al
