4000 people viewed the Thermal Tweeter on USTREAM since it went online yesterday, but there’s only a few meters of Tweets. There’s also some new tweets that don’t show up in a public search (privacy settings?).
Help us make it rain, for the sake of debugging of course, and get a free PCB code. We’ll send a code to the 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th, and 100th Tweeter to scroll through the Thermal Tweeter during the live feed. That’s a free PCB code to every 10th tweeter of the next 100.
Not sure why your tweet didn’t print? Check the public Twitter search for @dangerousproto to see if it showed up. If not, is there anything like a privacy setting that causes this? We’re not sure why Thermal Tweeter misses some tweets that we see when logged in.Sjaak thinks we should be querying the API, but that’s a lot more work :)
Its not privacy , i have those settings off and failed.
I see it in Twitter mentions, but not in the public search:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40dangerousproto
Actually, now I click and it is there. Maybe Twitter is caching results for a long time? It would probably be better to use the API.
I doesn’t work for me… tried it multiple times.
Privacy settings are off…
:D Change it man! I don’t see my tweets showing :( I did some nifty ascii and i’m dying to see if they work….
;)
If you did some ASCII art I wanna see it! Maybe Ian can put a picture of it when it gets printed :)
it is prolly lost somewhere in the gutters of internet ;)
Yep, I couldn’t find it in the search link. To bad… Wanna get creative again?
PS: Why so little characters? I wanted to print “ASCII facepalm” :(

Perhaps it gets finally through, but just in case here it is ;)
Ok, I give up! Twitter doesn’t like me.
Twitter wont let me tweet @ you with simplified Chinese.
there it goes , all it printed was …
Why not use the twitter streaming API instead of the feed so you can check for a new tweet instantly.
It’s up and solid now. It shouldn’t miss any more tweete. I used a little bit of a cheat to get on oAuth and grab the mentions properly. Thank you for helping test, enjoy :)
Yeah, twitter totally doesn’t like ASCII art :( Poor longcat looks more like flatcat
Only oneliners will work. I guess twitter has a script that converts multiple spaces into one. Do a google on oneline ascii and twitter on!
I’m wondering how many meters are twittered?
