Watch Your Twits 3

Posted by Aaron Patterson on February 26, 2008

If this doesn't win me the super nerd of the year award, I don't know what will. In fact, this is so nerdy that I'm kind of ashamed to write about it!

Remeber my Twitterbrite post? Well I registered twitterbrite.com, and now if my client catches a twit from you, it records the message on the LED sign and uploads it to my youtube account. Go ahead, check out twitterbrite.com now!

Update: My scripts are too chatty, so now it will only post videos if the text of the twit contains 'betabrite'.

    Pretty cool. Suggestion: you can’t read the text when it’s in scroll-by mode, probably having to do with the frame rate of the webcam.

    Sean,

    You’re quite right. It scrolls when it tries to display a word that is too long to fit on the sign. So I would have to auto-hyphenate the words, except that I just don’t care enough to do it. ;-)
