Des Moines Twitter Trends V.2

I just published version two of Des Moines twitter trends. The biggest change is the database was moved to MySql instead of SQLite3. Upgrading to MySql database allowed the data to be easily shared with a WordPress site.

The web view of the data has been upgraded to provide more information. The Des Moines Twitter Trends website now provides a clearer view of the data collected. It provides current trends for the past few hours, the past day, and the past week. All of the terms are now links to Twitter Searches.

I added some new information, such as recent links, and current view of the latest Twitter user’s avatars in a grid.

I also created my own theme, and display instead of using a third party Wordpress Theme.

P.S.
Here was the write up for the first version: http://www.dotcodedump.com/2009/07/finding-local-twitter-trends.html
