Twitter

I was bored for a couple of hours this weekend and started to wonder if a microblogging site in Drupal.

There are now quite a few microblogging sites online such as Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce and Plurk. I am a heavy user of Twitter as you can see from the right hand column of this site, but with all the network problems and downtime it is having can I make the follow up.

Can I do to Twitter what Facebook did to Myspace?

So I started work on http://www.foocity.com, and after 2 hours work, things look hopeful!

Today I have been playing with the Twitter API. If you see all the images in the block on the right, that is all my Twitter friends feed live via the API. If you can't see the images in the block on the right, it means either Twitter is down or I have made to many request this hour.
