Twitpic Viewer (with source)

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

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!twitpic-viewer screenshot*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.
