Web Based Photo Booth
Friday, May 14th, 2010I was playing with Photo Booth on my laptop the other night and decided to see if I could make something similar. I gave it a shot and it came out pretty good for a quick prototype.
I was playing with Photo Booth on my laptop the other night and decided to see if I could make something similar. I gave it a shot and it came out pretty good for a quick prototype.
So one night not too long ago I was sitting on my couch interneting and I started playing with search.twitter.com looking at the mass amounts of people posting photos to Twitter via Twitpic . I found the amount of photos getting uploaded astounding, at times close to 10 photos a second. But with that many photos getting posted every second its hard to visually comprehend, so I came up with an idea for an app, WHAM, Twitpic-viewer was conceived.
So using the Twitter API, I run a search for “twitpic.com”, return some JSON, parse it and loadin the photos.
I think it works pretty well, it is kinda like a train wreck though, you just can’t look away. Also be aware I don’t control the content, so odds are you will some nudity and other questionable content, enjoy!
*I currently DO NOT limit how many images will be loaded in, so eventually it will crash your browser if you let it run long enough.
** joekromer.com is in no way affilated with twitpic.com
*** for those interested here is the source for twitpic-viewer.
