Thanks to TIBCO’s Patrick Sapinski for some news on a CEP-driven Twitter application (albeit not public yet) that used location awareness principles to “tweet” people depending on where they were (e.g. passing a certain location). The Twitter side of the story was apparently the easy part. Patrick writes:
“We did not do any Java coding to accomplish this. We just used the TIBCO BusinessWorks HTTP activity to send tweets to Twitter. It was pretty easy once I configured the messages, URL, etc.”
Of course, for corporate applications / private tweets there are also services like Tibbr, which I signed up for this week… meanwhile I’m happy sticking with iGoogle to monitor “the real thing” via RSS feeds!
