tylor / nutella Goto Github PK

This is a simple implementation of a live Twitter tracker. It uses node.js + WebSockets + Twitter Streaming API to push tweets onto a page in realtime. See it in action: http://vimeo.com/14761659

The master branch is intended to stay very simple, please check out the other branches:
- Express: https://github.com/tylor/nutella/tree/express
- Express + MongoDB: https://github.com/tylor/nutella/tree/express-mongodb

To get started: 
- install node.js
- clone the repository with 'git clone git://github.com/tylor/nutella.git'
- move into the directory 'cd nutella'
- initialize the submodules: 'git submodule init'
- update the submodules: 'git submodule update'
- enter your Twitter credentials in nutella.js
- start server by running 'node nutella.js'.
- open nutella.html in a modern browser with WebSockets support, like Chrome.

Using a couple of nice libraries:
