Where does the jQuery and jquery.tweetInterval.js need to be located? Root directory on the server? Is it possible to point the script where jQuery and jquery.tweetInterval.js are located like on a separate server so I can use this with Blogger? Am I making this too difficult?

I tried this, it seem to work fine in firefox, but in safari/chrome the script does not seem to get latest api resonse after a while, if any activity is done on the page, then it starts getting new data. looks like the api response is cached, firefox is fine. Any Idea?

Yea you could, that would be the same idea, store the user you get the first time and look periodically if there is a new user and compare

Hello, really nice feature!

I just wanted to ask you that can i apply it for really time application also apart from twitters new post? Suppose i am showing recent visitors on profile page.The most recent visitor would be “1 min ago”.If suddenly new user comes so i just want to append that user with the message “about a min ago” without refresh like you have done here.

Can this feature support this kind of module as well? if no then could you please suggest me some link so i can look in to it.

Thanks.

Why not mix the idea with a little server script to pull and cache the latest twitter post? Then just have your script hit your site.

Very interesting!

Tell me if this is correct ?: tweet[name='Cedric Dugas'][0].text

Sorry, but I get the following error, each time I try: lastTweet[0].text -> undefined

Copy my code:
setInterval(“twitterCallback2(‘”+lastTweet+”‘)”,30000)
setTimeout(“twitterCallback2(‘”+lastTweet+”‘)”,10000)

twitterCallback2 = function(lastTweet) {

var updateTweet = lastTweet[0].text // Tweet text
(…)

Thank you for the help and excuse me for my inexperience
