About

I am fed up sitting all day refreshing the home page waiting for that elusive question on symfony that I can answer and who uses RSS these days? So using tags and massive fonts you can now get a tweet with a link the the question title in your update stream. It uses twitter oAuth and makes friends with http://twitter.com/stackoftwits. You will get @updates from @stackappbot. You don't want to follow that account really as if your friends all follow stackappbot you will see a lot of stackappbot posts in your stream! I didn't like the idea of using DMs as this usually generates an email which could also get annoying.

Searches on the following sites are possible:
Stack Overflow
Super User
Server Fault
Web Apps
Stack Apps

As more sites come out of private beta they will be added.

Thanks to my employer I now have a proper domain. http://stackoftwits.com/

Development

I've built this using symfony but the I have been trying to make the StackApp api code non-library dependent. I do plan on releasing the code that handles this once I've tarted it up.
