Tweets of Worcester v Ulster last night

[mikerob]

You can get software to aggregate twitter feeds or trends for inclusion on a website - Juitter is one example. This means getting down and dirty with the website code, however...

And more geekery, a Wordle view of the tweets.

here's a joke for you guys:

100100110110010001001000011

10010001001110010000010101100100100001000100101

btw you can twitter via sms - requires enabling something on your twitter account but then you can send an update by msg
is this how fru achieved their notifications on friday? or were they smart-phoning/iphoning it?

[The FRU]

On the number of unique viewers I would take those with a pinch of salt FRU unless you can actually get a list of ip's , I've noticed on another Wordpress site that sometimes a page refresh will show as a unique user was working on a page one night and noticed I was being watched by several hundred "unique" viewers, yet no one else knew of the page or site.

Don't be so patronising Rooster I verify my viewers from three different sources.

Not disputing just mentioning a problem I noticed but if you are using other outside sources figure is probably correct.

Don't get it

Mike was twittering with an iphone app - I think FRU were just embedding his stuff onto their site.

To broadcast live, I have listened to things broadcast live over the internet using iphones and Ustream.

No idea of the technical bits though.

[Lanzaman]

On the video front mikerob has discovered how to snaffle the BBC iplayer stuff and put on YouTube, so along with what I swipe from Sky, Setanta and BBC televised matches we should have some video from every match.
The 2 iplayer videos from Newcastle and Viadana matches are online now quality not as good because of multiple processing between source and final destination but hope of use to Lanzaman, Setanta and all the others exiled around the world.

Cheers to all of you who make following Ulster from afar a helluva a lot easier with tweets / videos / texts - keep up the good work
