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

For those of you twitter addicts out there who need to know what’s trending on Twitter, there’s a cool Twitter Hack that will update the latest trending topics on a small LCD screen.  This isn’t that hard to implement it looks like, check it out here.

The #twatch connects directly to Twitter and scrolls the latest trending topics and related tweets on an LCD screen. It’s a stand-alone network appliance that stays updated without a PC.
