strimble

The Twitter Search section currently seen on http://strimble.com/.

So, I’m not sure if you’ll notice or not, but last night I changed the index page a bit.  I removed the Election Results widget (BTW… Obama won! Yay!) and made some changes to the Twitter Search section.  To get the Twitter Search results, I’m just firing off an Ajax request to a PHP script on my site that gets the JSON feed from Twitter Search.  Then I’m displaying the first five results on the index page.  So, last night I added some effects.  It now checks the JSON every 1000 milliseconds to see if there’s a new post to display.  If there is a new post, it will slide up and fade the bottom post, slide down the new post, and then briefly highlight the new post.  If you actually have the chance to see it on the site, let me know what you think.  Questions and suggestions are always welcome.
