Recent changes to the BBC News website mean that the script requires an update. I’ll post again here when a new version is available.

Thanks Phil. Yes, I was using Yahoo Search in the Twitter pipe to retrieve relevant tweets, but I don’t think it’s really appropriate for this kind of task.

I’ve just switched it to use Terraminds’ Twitter search API. Much better, methinks.

That’s good stuff.

Not sure about the results from the Twitter pipe. Some extra parsing needed to filter out the “are you on a mobile phone?” content.

Nice. I’ve added a Wikipedia option to the script, using Phil’s pipe. Thanks, Phil.

And while I was at it, I added Twitter too.

This gets me thinking that it could be useful to simplify the process for users to add a new source to the script.

Yay!

I hacked my local version to also include a link to Wikipedia thus:

function getWikipediaPipesData(sTags, oInfoPanel) {
getYahooPipe(’f5092f6843f0ed59a060cd56833f4889′, sTags, 4, paramCall(standardParser, this, ['wikipedia']));
}

Thanks Phil. Very strange that - the Flickr pipe seems to have spontaneously combusted. I’ve replaced it with a new one and updated the script.

The script should automatically inform you of an update within 24 hours…

This is totally awesome, but the Pipe for Flickr photos doesn’t seem to exist any more!

Indeed, Mr Marco :)
It was a fine slog, was Hack Day. And you were there - all through the night - hacking away with the best of them…
