I use the public stream with a filter on location (:locations => '-180,-90,180,90') Twitter doesn't seem to have limitation for that.

The backend is written in Ruby. The daemon to index tweets use the great Intridea gem https://github.com/intridea/tweetstream.

The page http://onemilliontweetmap.com/ is simple Sinatra application, and I use REDIS pub/sub to push tweets to the browser.

This map shows only geolocalized tweets. Usually, tweets are geolocalized when they are sent with a mobile.

Also twitter stream don't send 100% of the tweets, it will be to huge. But statically speaking, it should be enough to have a good picture.

May be there are some restrictions in Canada.

This map give us a lot of information about twitter more than the first fun and wow effect. I like that!

What do you mean? We just display data from twitter stream. You can use their stream if you want to

Correct, I worked hard on that new version and I thought a lot before finding the idea of that demo to show what you can do with maptimize.

I really like that tweet demo. You can find a lot of interesting information, like tweets in your area as you said.

The heatmap is also interesting when you need to analyze huge amount of data like this.

You can also see where twitter is very active. I was surprised to see that Indonesia is very active.

I fixed it I just removed the IE detection detection. (The demo doesn't support IE 8 and less) Thanks for the report

I will provide API for leaflet which is also a wrapper. I'll take a look to Mapstraction and definitively support it to

This goal is to make something very easy to extend.

IHMO, This is a much better way than donation.

Donation just dont work. For example MongoID got $2800 for how many hours, days and months of work? And he's lucky, I don't have projects in mind but most of the time people get like $100.

I also agree about:

"why I keep seeing such negative feedback around Yehuda's choice of soliciting money to bring us Rails.app. Sure, it may just be a few of you, but if you don't want to give Yehuda money, fine, just don't. If you think Yehuda is asking for too much money, fine, just don't donate. If you just don't like Yehuda, fine, just don't donate."

Two thumbs up for kickstarter.com too!

May be it worths making it something simple and easy to use :)

This is not the goal of mocksmtp. It's for first level testing. Checking html and correcting rendering with webkit. Then of course you need to test other mail/weblmail reader or with litmus as mention before.

It's like make HTML/CSS for a webpage. First level, you create you HTML/CSS code and test it with Firefox usually. Then when you are happy with, you check safari/chrome and debug IE :).

Because if you use a real smtp server: - Sometimes setup are not easy (like using gmail in a rails app) - It's not instant - You need a internet connection.
