The app actively archives Tweets it\nhas received at the [Internet Archive](http://archive.org/details/wikitweets).\n\nHow Does It Work?\n-----------------\n\nwikitweets uses the [Twitter Streaming API](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-api/methods) to filter out tweets that include links to Wikipedia. It is convenient that Twitter's filtering and search API calls are able to use of the original (unshortened) URLs. The Twitter API does not include the unshortened URLs in the API response JSON, so those are looked up in order to determine which article is being referenced in which Wikipedia. wikitweets then looks up the article using the relevant language Wikipedia API to get the Wikipedia article summary. The mashup of relevant bits from the tweet and the Wikipedia article are then streamed to the browser.\n\nThanks\n------\n\nwikitweets stands on several giants shoulders, including:\n\n* [express](http://expressjs.com/)\n* [socket.io](http://socket.io)\n* [ntwitter](https://github.com/AvianFlu/ntwitter)\n* [request](https://github.com/mikeal/request)\n* [unshorten](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/node-unshorten)\n* [underscore](http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/)\n\nInstall\n-------\n\n* install node and git\n* `git clone https://github.com/edsu/wikistream.git`\n* `cd wikistream`\n* `npm install`\n* `cp config.json.tmpl config.json`\n* get [Twitter](https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new) credentials and add them to \n  config.json\n* get [Internet Archive](http://archive.org/help/abouts3.txt) credentials so\n  wikitweets can archive JSON there.\n* `node app.js`\n* open http://localhost:3000/ in browser\n\nLicnse\n------\n\n* CC0\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fedsu%2Fwikitweets","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fedsu%2Fwikitweets","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fedsu%2Fwikitweets/lists"}
