11 years ago OK done!
To do this,
- I have done some google stuff.
- starting here: http://blog.blprnt.com/blog/blprnt/updated-quick-tutorial-processing-twitter (this guy is a leg...)
- created a new Processing sketch that can talk to twitter
- not that simple. I need to first create a new twitter account 'rbeetlelabs' to act as the voice of the new project. This is the account that will talk to the world
- I registerd a new App 'Fortune Teller Hive' to get OATH authentication keys needed by the sketch...
- To make Processing talk to Twitter, you need to get a library. twitter4j.jar can be downloaded here: http://twitter4j.org/
- the sketch from blprnt.blg had enough to make the handshake and suck down a search query, BUT not to send a tweet.
- after lots of about-farting, I got this to work by using updateStatus, roughly based on http://twitter4j.org/en/code-examples.html
A great evening's work!!
want to be able to get a tweet to fire in response to an event in Processing. This will feed back in large open space like conference to allow calls to action, keep focus, maintain interest in progress. Offers a means to sign up for updates
