TwitFeed 0.0.1

This plugin can be used to connect to the twitter stream and feed your blog with content in real time. There are three options for how you can receive data from twitter: Follow Users, Follow Track, and Sample.Following users works by subscribing to user's twitter feeds and taking any tweets they may have made. Using the "track" method allows you to enter certain keywords visitors to your blog may be interested in. Any tweets containing the tracked words you enter will be displayed. Sample mode is mostly for making sure your setup is working correctly. This takes a sample of all tweets (10-15 a second) and displays them. To keep the traffic down the plugin is set to take only 1/50th of sample tweets (about 1 every 5 seconds).Requirements: * Memcache + php5-memcache * php5-curl * Phirehose (included, with some minor changes ) * jQuery must be included in your blogInstallation:Just uncompress to your plugins folder and make sure the requirements are met. In the wp admin menu enable TwitFeed, and set the options for your account.You WILL need to change some options in the daemon and consumer scripts. There are four settings with need to change in BOTH scripts: * appRunAsGID (default 1000) o This is the group id the daemon will run under. Set to a valid group id. * appRunAsUID (default 1000) o Similar to above, user id instead of group. Set to a valid user id. * logLocation (default /var/log/{OPTIONS.appName}.log) o Where the log will be written. o The user above must be able to create a file here, and write to the file. * appPidLocation (default /var/run/[daemon]/[daemon].pid) o Process id tracking file o User must be able to create and write to files here.Running:From a shell run: ./daemon ./consumerThe daemon script connects to twitter and stores tweets in memcache. The consumer script reads the data from memcache and inserts into the db.This is a two step process in order to make sure than the daemon does not fall behind if the feed and database are busy.If you want to write an init script you can do: ./daemon --write-initd ./consumer --write-initdThis will create scripts in /etc/init.d which you can use to start and stop the daemons. You can also create startup scripts so the daemons start if you reboot, but I won't get in to that. Look up the details on the PEAR System_Daemon class if you wish to do this. Also, this only works for Debian and Ubuntu based systems as far as I can tell.Installation :
