twitter2campfire.rb

Publish a Twitter summize feed to Campfire

This script allows you to monitor a Twitter search feed using Campfire.

Here’s how to get it set up:

Pre-run: make sure to install gem dependencies:

sudo gem install tinder rio hpricot htmlentities

then:

1) Check out the repo:

git clone git://github.com/paulca/twitter2campfire.git

2) Copy ‘run_example.rb’ to ‘run.rb’ and edit it with your credentials and a feed url ( from search.twitter.com )

3) Set a cron script to run the script every minute. Something like this should do it:

• • • • • cd /home/twitter2campfire/; ruby run.rb

Hallelujah, you got Twitter in your Campfire, sweet!
