I made a live Twitter thing for the Uprising in Egypt

[blogslut]

My blog is in hiatus so I reconfigured it to provide a live feed that displays tweets with the hashtags #Egypt and #Jan25.

9. Yea, me too

It's just that with this script/template thingy, if I add too many hashtags, it doesn't refresh as often. I think it's because the script looks for tweets with all the hashtags and won't display the tweets with one or two.

6. I think I'm going to bump it back down to just the two hashtags

It doesn't refresh as often with all the others for some reason.

10. Awesome

I've been watching http://www.google.com/search?q=egypt&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=ivnsubm&tbs=mbl:1&tbo=u&ei=kcJCTYvDC5H6sAPa8uywCg&sa=X&oi=realtime_result_group_more_results_link&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CFcQ5QUwAw">Google Realtime for Egypt which pulls in messages from a variety of social networking sources. You might take a peak and see if there are any sources you might want to add to yours.

11. Thanks

However, this template/script thing just picks up Twitter feeds based on hashtags.

PS: That's a wonderful resource, that Google Live deal.
