Taylor: I blogged about Jaiku briefly after its acquisition. Twitter has first-mover status, so Jaiku is a second for me now. Plus, I don't see enough of a value-add to jump to it.
The link you sent looks promising. I'll tag it for reading later.

Thanks guys. It was the first time I used Twitter API to do something (hopefully) useful. I had fun doing it, which proves that I'm a geek.

I also enjoyed the conversation/collaboration among Jake, Craig and Dennis on Facebook and Twitter. Hopefully this is just the start and an indication of more useful things to come.

Jake,

There are a couple of products and efforts in place that are beginning to address group twittering.

Check out http://jaiku.com/ . Jaiku was purchased by Google a few weeks back and seem to be the furthest along at this point with a product.

Also check out Factory Joe's detailed overview of his iniatives related to group twittering http://factoryjoe.com/blog/...

Couple of comments.

1. Eddie your script is awesome.
2. Twitter needs to deliver the long promised group functionality. 70% of the tweeds that I get this days are crap :(.
