KuWeet, Your Window To Kuwaiti Tweets
View Comments
One of the biggest factors of Twitter’s success and popularity is the wealth of third party tools and solutions built around it and using its API.
Just recently, I came across an interesting little project built around Twitter that aims to open a window on tweets coming out of Kuwait, and about Kuwait, by the name of KuWeet.
The way it was built is really simple: an account @kuweet was created for twitter users in Kuwait to follow, and then what happens is that all followers of this account are collected and placed in a list. All tweets originating from people on this list are then aggregated into a a public timeline of Twitter users from and about Kuwait.
According to its developer, it’s based on an integration of Twitter2html into WordPress, with a theme that is pretty much identical to the Twitter interface.
New tweets are fetched every 10 minutes through a planned cron process.
KuWeet is a project by well-known Kuwaiti blogger and tweeter @nibaq.
