Hacking Around With Twitter

Last night I was hacking around with Twitter and a few Javascripts and cobbled together a window into my Twitterstream (sgclark.com/twitterstream).  What I basically did is take a javascript and have it suck in the RSS feed of the folks I follow on Twitter.  Its a very simple view – just displaying one tweet at a time – which allows you to actually read what is being said rather than being overwhelmed with the “river” of information.  I then rigged it so it will refresh every 5-7 seconds or so.  I am going to make a few interface tweaks to it over time, while still keeping it simple and minimal.  Nothing too exciting, but just a little hack that will let you look at Twitter from a different angle.
