Twitter Ticker

Twitter Ticker is a widget displaying twitter search results in a news ticker fashion. It is now available as a WordPress plugin, or you can copy and paste the following code into the bottom of your html page (just before the </body> tag):

  <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><!--
   //SETTINGS BELOW
   keywords = 'twitter';
   auto = true;
   speed = 'walk';
  --></script>

  <script src="http://eduvoyage.com/ttseed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

You can search tweets by keywords, or fetch tweets for particular users. Tweets can be displayed at variable speeds: 'crawl', 'walk', 'run' or 'sprint'.

Example search queries:

  • keywords = 'from:tweettic'; (only displays tweets from tweettic)

  • keywords = 'from:tweettic from:biz from:twitter'; (only displays tweets from tweettic, twitter and biz)

  • keywords = 'to:tweettic'; (only displays tweets replying to the user tweettic)

  • keywords = 'to:tweettic to:twitter'; (only displays tweets replying to the users twitter and tweettic)

  • keywords = '@tweettic'; (only displays tweets mentioning the user tweettic)

  • keywords = '@tweettic @twitter'; (only displays tweets mentioning the users twitter AND tweettic)

  • keywords = '@tweettic OR @twitter'; (only displays tweets mentioning the users twitter OR tweettic)

  • keywords = 'ticker'; (only displays tweets containing the keyword 'ticker')

  • keywords = 'ticker twitter'; (only displays tweets containing the keywords 'ticker' and 'twitter')

  • keywords = '"twitter ticker"'; (only displays tweets containing the exact phrase 'twitter ticker')

Visit search.twitter.com/operators for a full list of operators you can use in your query.

The ticker is set to reveal itself when your page loads. To start with the ticker in its collapsed state, set 'auto' to 'false' (rather than 'true').

Follow the ticker on Twitter to keep up-to-date with new features and improvements.
