[Yulwww] Display of "tweets" on/in web pages

[Lovins, Daniel]

Stefan.

What if you stuck an RSS feed widget in the selected web page with this kind of content: "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%23Yale_Libguides"

Then any time someone tweets and includes the string: "#Yale_Libguides" it will show up on this news feed. 

I tried it out here in a section of the yufind site on SharePoint: https://collaborate.library.yale.edu/yufind/Shared%20Documents/libguides_test.aspx which should, I think, be publicly viewable. 

Hope that helps.

It seems that Twitter might be usable to update more than one webpage (incl. LibGuides) at the same time with short library-newsworthy items, in addition to those items being seen by "followers" - if there was an easy way to get the "tweets" into a library web page.  So far, I haven't seen how ... got as far at "Twitter API for Dummies" (http://twittut.netsensei.nl/?page_id=8).  Am I overlooking the obvious, has anyone @YUL already done this, or is this rather a dumb idea to even attempt?
