Show HN: Global voting system using Twitter
12 points by cedel2k1 on May 19, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
3 hours ago I had the idea for a global polling/voting system, using nothing but tweets...

It went live 5 minutes ago!

...

To start or participate in a vote, just Tweet something this:

"#twote #bestdatabase #couchdb #redis"

...

Results: http://176.34.235.38:8000/

Code: https://github.com/sreuter/twote

Me on Twitter: @sreuter




Very easy to use. I like it. A stats page would be very cool; especially if you listed the Twitter comments along with the votes and stats.

Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see the next iteration.


Yay - thanks for the feedback! Stats page is already in the making... Listing Twitter comments along with the votes and stats have been put on the list :-)


Pretty neat :) It works really fast as well


Thanks a bunch! And yes, it works realtime... Can't wait to setup a polished stats page... But it's already 4AM right now over here ;-)
