Twitter List – Fun with the api and JQuery

I have been wanting to do some more jquery, json, javascripty stuff to improve my chops….so I figured I would play with the twitter api this time.

If you follow me on twitter you may have seen that I have had issues creating twitter lists in the past via the twitter.com gui.  Odd errors and cache issues to blame I think.

Well the other day I was able to actually create a twitter list!  So using the api I was able to create a picture board of all the members on my list.

For fun I have added 1 company that is from Portland but doesn’t make software….can you find it?

It uses the twitter api to receive a json feed of all the members of the list and their info.  Then using jquery & some javascript magic I churn out the images for each member and you get what you see!  It was a fun little exercise….just think of all the cool stuff you could do.

 

till next time
