Waiter, there's a tweet in my river!
- #### A new feature in my river
- #### Notes
- 1. You can try out the river for yourself.
- 2. The tweets come from my linkblog feed, which I create with "Radio3".
- 3. In the video I say Radio UserLand was a linkblogging tool. It was that, but it was also a general purpose blog editor, and river of news aggregator. It came out in 2002. Radio2 was very much like Radio3, but it was server-based. Radio3 is written in JavaScript, and while there's a server component running in Node.js, most of the code is in the browser, as it is with the reader (demo'd above).
- 4. The aggregator that generates the river, which is in an open format, is also a Node.js server application called "River4". It's open source.
- 5. Also there's "Fargo" but let's not get into that now. ;-)
- 0. Download the demo as a .mov.
- Lots of software coming together here to make this all work.
