Web development, scripts, source code and IT stuff
Best tools for Twitter
0I like to share not only source code, also tools.
This are my favorite Twitter tools and since they are my favorites for me are the best.
TwitterFox - Great extension for Firefox, makes really easy to tweet and follow conversations.
Twitter Search and Follow
0Today I’ve been working in a usefull tool for Twitter.
Enter your Twitter user name and password (not stored), make a search and possible matches will be displayed.
Until here nothing special, but you can select all of them or just the ones that you are interested at, to follow them just in 1 click.
Try it here: Twitter Search And Follow
Or you can Download it and install it in your server ;)
Twitter for Neo22s
0Hi to everyone.
Today I just created the official twitter for this site Neo22s Twitter.
Since now on the badge on the side bar will point to this account.
Why? I think is better since you will follow only news from neo22s.com and not my Spanish jokes or how is the weather or what’s my cat doing.
I hope many people will follow the site, also I will answer to that twitter of course!
Regards Chema ;)
How to Tweet from PHP and short Url with bit.ly
6Since I released the version 1.4.1 of OC, 2 persons already ask me how to do the twitter post in their site. I used two simple functions that I found on internet and I modified them to make them work as my purpose.
The idea is to post any submit data into a twitter account and short the given url with bit.ly if it’s set.
First we need some defines (they can also be post form a form, for example):
//Twitter account define('TWITTER','twitter_user');//user name for twitter define('TWITTER_PWD','yourpassword');//password for twitter account //Bit.ly config for url shortener, optional define('BIT_USER', 'bit_user');//bit.ly user define('BIT_API','bit_api_key');//bit.ly apikey
Then first we have the function to short the url’s with bit.ly (modified from james.cridland.net):

TweetList.net new site using Open Classifieds
0853 days
Today is my holyday day, since in Barcelona is te “diada”, big party here. Instead of chill and relax I spent 3 hours modifying OC to create this new site.
What’s TweetList?
TweetList.net is a site where there’s host a classified system. The difference between tweetlist and other sites is that we use Twitter to post your listing in your Twitter account. In this way all your contacts will know about it and also other people could find it easily with the tags.
Simple and easy to use.
Please bring me some feedback about it.
Twitter Badge generator
0Yesterday I saw the Twitter Follow Badge in several pages…I actually like it, but I don’t like how is it generated and how it works.
I found this things that I didn’t like:
- Uses an external JS that need to be load form another page.
- The link can’t be followed from bots and you can’t open it in another page.
- There was no title in the link since there’s no real link.
- There’s an about that redirect to the site of the owner.
- The link to your twitter is a redirect from their site.
- Uses an static image for the text.
What I did is start a new script that generates a badge in html with css, with few options and fixing all the other things that I talk before.
