I think there must be a bug with the Pageflakes Twitter flake - I get the same results here when I visit my public "Pagecast."<BR/><BR/>There's GOT to be some work-around. Also, I wonder if we could build this same kind of thing using Netvibes or some other service.

But this is PERFECT. For any public or streaming event, to have the back-channel be my own Twitter network is very, very cool. You could also add a widget for a Twitter search to search for references to the event to see Tweets from people who aren't in your network.Steve Hargadonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776685502090744803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-28263618079485386482009-02-02T18:26:00.000-05:002009-02-02T18:26:00.000-05:00@Darren: when I try to sign in to the Twitter wid...@Darren: when I try to sign in to the Twitter widget, it doesn't do anything... ?Steve Hargadonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776685502090744803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-1742356403702604122009-02-02T18:23:00.000-05:002009-02-02T18:23:00.000-05:00@Darren: well, the trick I was missing was that P...@Darren: well, the trick I was missing was that Pageflakes was not up for the last several days.

Having worked with Meebo during OpenPD, I can suggest that we'd probably want to go with a different widget (possibly the Ustream chat - something either way that's easier to moderate).<BR/><BR/>The trick I think you were missing is the "Anything Flake" in Pageflakes where you can add any piece of code to create a flake.<BR/><BR/>Pretty powerful stuff.Darren Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578208859042859340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-16558383062460099512009-02-02T13:28:00.000-05:002009-02-02T13:28:00.000-05:00@Jason: that's close, but it's not the exact same...@Jason: that's close, but it's not the exact same thing. What is being done at that site is to place widgets or feeds with a search term--and that's actually very do-able on Netvibes and I do it for things that I care about. Like, when I was at EduCon, I created a page that showed any Twitter messages with different variants of the EduCon name so I could see anything posted about the conference. In Netvibes, just search Twitter in the "add" area and I think you'll find the tools for this.<BR/><BR/>What I'm hoping to do is to allow any user to watch a live stream of an event and see all of the tweets of his or her own network. However, in the absence of that, setting it up the way that you have described would not be terrible, but it would require that anyone Tweeting would have to use a standard phrase in their Tweets to have them show up. A positive to this approach would be finding people that weren't already in your network...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for responding!Steve Hargadonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776685502090744803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-19867366615392122372009-02-02T13:18:00.000-05:002009-02-02T13:18:00.000-05:00Steve - I agree wholeheartedly!
