I needed something like this for my work (@appadvice) and couldn't find it so I made it on my own :) and just posted in on the App Store. What StreamBoard does is plugs into Twitter's streaming API for any keyword you want, and display the results in real-time in a table view.

You can filter the results too, which is quite powerful if you track news things like, everyone who says iPhone in a tweet that has more than 500 followers and speaks english and includes a link in his tweet. It also does location-filtering to some extent.

I used to use Datasift Beta to do this, but now they want a LOT of money for it, so I made my own filtering engine in obj-c.

I literally learnt Obj-c and made it in about 14 days, so the UI is a bit rough. The engine however should be rock solid. If you have time to try it for me, here are some promocodes:

Try it out, and let me know what you think!


Well, in this case clearing the storage won't be enough as it seems like the ad uses the device identifier to track you and restore the database right after.


As far as I know, the device ID cannot be retrieved from code running in Safari.

The point is pretty moot anyway, since native applications can and are using the device ID to track you, and it is unique.

On my iPhone I have native apps installed for accessing ... Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Reader, Yahoo Messenger and Skype. I prefer native apps, even for Facebook which has a kickass web page optimized for mobiles, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.


From what we know it's an exploit linked to the way PDF files are handled. So it's courtesy of Adobe, lol. Steve is just gonna love this. They did the same thing with Tiff files back in the 1.1.1 days.


Apple's PDF code is all its own; it's not provided by Adobe. (Which explains why Preview sometimes renders differently than Acrobat does.)


Looks like jailbreakers are now in the cloud, unlike Apple huh.


Well they're spending $1bn on building a massive 500,000 square foot data centre, so I'm willing to bet they're working on it.


You're right, I missed it
