What I learned today

Tools used   Twitter streaming api in Ruby : https://github.com/tweetstream/tweetstream    Rake (I am using this in a Rails application but you can use just ruby/rake)   Awesome print Ruby Gem (prints objects in a nice format into standard out): https://github.com/michaeldv/awesome_print  Sign up for a Twitter app at apps.twitter.com to get your auth keys to use in the code. Setup ruby, then install the awesome_print gem and tweetstream gem gem install tweetstream gem install awesome_print or if using Rails, add to your Gemfile gem 'awesome_print' gem 'tweetstream' then run bundle install If you run this task as rake tweets:tweet1, you can live track tweets of your choosing on your console, sweet. See this gist I posted with the tracker code, very very simple, try it out! https://gist.github.com/binodpanta/d577b24bb776a99a43aa
