The intention of this is to learn how mongodb works, and do some frontend realtime updates (using node.js and some queueing).
So, its a quick and dirty (very kiss) app to monitor a twitter stream, store it in mongoDB and then showing it live.
Quick and dirty version.
- Get the stream up and running
- store tweets in a mongo collection
- show tweets in a page using ajax (not live yet)
- Count retweets (voting) and show top ranked tweets.
- Add configuration pannel to control and configure the stram.
- Real time updates in the frontend
