Twitter Hack – Twitter Controlled Christmas Tree!

December 22nd, 2009

twitter-tree

For the Christmas holidays, here’s a fun project that involves Twitter and a small Christmas tree.  Twitters can change the color of the Christmas Tree by tweeting to @tweet_tree the color you want.

To choose the color of our tree, just send a color to @tweet_tree on Twitter.

@tweet_tree red, green, purple, green, p, g, r, b

@tweet_tree understands red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Send one color, or combination of colors to morph through. Separate multiple colors with a comma. Only the first letter of the color matters, r,o,y,g,b, & p, are acceptable color commands.

@tweet_tree red, *ff0000, green, *00ff00, blue, *0000ff

How to Back Up Your Tweets on Google Calendar!

December 6th, 2009

Twistory, is a new Twitter-app site that lets you back-up your valuable tweets on Google Calendar through Google API.  It’s simple to use and all you have to do is enter your Twitter username to get started.  Of course, if you use your Google Calendar for other purposes, we suggest you to make a new Twitter-backup account for Google Calendar so it stays separate.

I find this the best way to back-up your tweets since Twitter itself doesn’t offer any kind of backups.

Best of all, it’s free so you can lose!
