Twitter Search API And jSON Callbacks

Posted on the October 26th, 2008 under Blog Improvements, Twitter, Web 2.0, Web Development by Timothy Allard

Over the weekend I integrated a Twitter Profile Search Tool in my blog using the Twitter API and the jSON callback functions. What it does, is let you search Twitter profiles right from my blog, and display their latest Tweets. I have full control over the number of tweets to display, the amount to show, and more. The Twitter API and jSON functions are very cool, and this is only the beginning to what can be done with it. I started with a search tool because it is a very practical thing to make. Let’s dissect it a bit to see how it was done.

    Now a days everyone and their sister has a Twitter account. People like you, people like me. But did you know Borat has one? Or how about Darth Vader, the Mars Lander? This comprehensive list is a collection of Twitter Profiles You Should Be Following. Just a warning. I have no official confirmation that the profiles listed below, are actually who they claim to be. There may be some impersonators out there, but it’s still fun none the less. I even categorized them. Enjoy and add your favorite profile addition in the comments below. I want this list to grow.

    I just finished integrating Twitter into my blog. I have a static side column bucket which display’s 5 Tweets, then on my Twitter page, I have my 50 most recent ones for your viewing pleasure. I am still tweaking it so you may see something funky. But all in all, I digg it. Check it out and give me some feedback. I will also be integrating other social websites that I use daily. Ill keep you posted.
